(2) A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I

(3) A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I

(4) A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV

Show Answer

Answer: (3)

Solution:

Formula: Dimensional equation

Pressure gradient $=\frac{dp}{dx}=\frac{[ML^{-1} T^{-2}]}{[L]}$

$ =[M^{1} L^{-2} T^{-2}] $

Energy density $=\frac{\text{ energy }}{\text{ volume }}=\frac{[ML^{2} T^{-2}]}{[L^{3}]}$

$ =[M^{1} L^{-1} T^{-2}] $

Electric field $=\frac{\text{ Force }}{\text{ charge }}=\frac{[MLT^{-2}]}{[A . T]}$

$=[M^{1} L^{1} T^{-3} A^{-1}]$

Latent heat $=\frac{\text{ heat }}{\text{ mass }}=\frac{[ML^{2} T^{-2}]}{[M]}$

$=[M^{0} L^{2} T^{-2}]$
