Given below are two statement :

Statements I : Astronomical unit (Au), Parsec (Pc) and Light year (ly) are units for measuring astronomical distances.

Statements II : Au < Parsec (Pc) < ly

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Statements I is correct but Statements II is
incorrect

Option B is correct because Astronomical Unit (AU), Parsec (Pc), and Light Year (ly) are indeed units for measuring astronomical distances, but the correct order is AU < ly < Parsec.

The method of dimensional analysis can be used to derive which of the following relations? Statement-I: Dimensions of constant of proportionality of constants can be derived from dimensional method
Statement-II: Numerical value of constant of proportionality can be found from experiments only The dimensions of torque are The physical quantity having the dimensions

\left[ {{\mathrm{M}^{ - 1}}{\mathrm{L}^{ - 3}}{\mathrm{A}^2}{T^3}} \right]

is A quantity X is given by

{\varepsilon _0}L\frac{{\Delta V}}{{\Delta t}},\;

{\varepsilon _0}

is the permittivity of free space, L is a length,

{\Delta V}

is a potential difference and

{\Delta t}

is a time interval. The dimensional formula for X is the same as that of
