If the energy, E=GphqcrE=G^p h^q c^r, where GG is the universal gravitational constant, hh is the Planck's constant and cc is the velocity of light, then the values of p,qp, q and rr are, respectively

Options

  1. A−1/2,1/2-1 / 2,1 / 2 and 5/25 / 2
  2. B1/2,−1/21 / 2,-1 / 2 and −5/2-5 / 2
  3. C−1/2,1/2-1 / 2,1 / 2 and 3/23 / 2
  4. D1/2,−1/21 / 2,-1 / 2 and −3/2-3 / 2

Correct answer

A. −1/2,1/2-1 / 2,1 / 2 and 5/25 / 2

Step-by-step solution
