L scale = 360/1080.
= 0.3333333*3600sec.
= 1200sec.
No. Of divisions = 59.
= 1200/59 = 20.33.
Therefore, their least count is 20".

360 deg =1080*M.
M=360/1080 =0.333 deg,
M*59 =60*V,
0.333*59/60 = v,
v=0.327777.

Least count = 0.3333-0.3277 = 0.005552 deg = 19.98 sec.

All the explanations are correct assuming:

1 degree = 1hour equivalent.
So, we write 1° 00' 00"= 3600 secs.

L.C of the main scale:
1080/360 = 20.

Now, L.C of vernier is;
S/V=(20*60)/60=20".

@Shubham Vighne

1200-1080 = 120 seconds not 20 seconds.

1080/60 = 18.

According to the answer sheet answer is 20.

@Ansha.

The total degree of rotation =360°.

(1080/60) - (1080/59)= .3°=20".
