Area of the cross-section of a wire is measured using a screw gauge. The pitch of the main scale is $0.5 \mathrm{~mm}$. The circular scale has 100 divisions and for one full rotation of the circular scale, the main scale shifts by two divisions. The measured readings are listed below.

| Measurement condition | Main scale reading | Circular scale reading |
|---|---|---|
| Two arms of gauge touching each other without wire | 0 division | 4 divisions |
| Attempt-1: With wire | 4 divisions | 20 divisions |
| Attempt-2: With wire | 4 divisions | 16 divisions |
What are the diameter and cross-sectional area of the wire measured using the screw gauge?
