Assertion (A): If x and y are the distance along x and y axes...
Assertion (A): If and are the distance along and axes respectively then the dimensions of () is (\mathrm{M}^0 \mathrm{~L}^{-2} \mathrm{~T}^0).
Reason (R): Dimensions of (\int_a^b y d x) is (\mathrm{M}^0 \mathrm{~L}^2 \mathrm{~T}^0).
Options
- AAssertion (A) is true, Reason (R) is truc; Reason (R) is a correct explanation for Assertion (A).
- BAssertion (A) is truc, Reason (R) is truc; Reason (R) is not a correct explanation for Assertion (A).
- CAssertion (A) is true, Reason (R) is false.
- DAssertion (A) is falsc, Reason (R) is true.
Correct answer
B. Assertion (A) is truc, Reason (R) is truc; Reason (R) is not a correct explanation for Assertion (A).
Step-by-step solution
Assertion (A):
"If and are distances along and axes respectively, then the dimensions of () is
- Here, has dimensions of length (L).
- also has dimensions of length (L).
- Differentiating once: (L / L=) dimensionless.
- Differentiating twice: () dimension .
- Differentiating thrice: () dimension .
So, dimensions = .
(1) Assertion (A) is true.
