MCQ
Even if a physical quantity depends upon three quantities, out of which two are dimensionally same, then the formula cannot be derived by the method of dimensions. This statement
  • A
    May be true
  • B
    May be false
  • Must be true
  • D
    Must be false

Answer

Correct option: C.
Must be true
