In single digit classification of fingerprints, Battley lens is used, which has :

  • A.Five concentric circles
  • B.Three concentric circles
  • C.Six concentric circles
  • D.Seven concentric circles

Answer: D

The Battley lens has seven concentric circles.

In Harry Battley's single-digit classification, devised at Scotland Yard in the 1920s and 1930s to file individual scene marks, a reticle engraved with seven concentric circles, lettered A to G outwards, is placed over the core of a whorl. The circle in which a particular ridge feature, such as the delta or the end of a ridge, falls gives a letter that becomes part of the classification.

Three, five or six circles do not match the lens, whose seven zones give the seven letters A to G.
