AThe unit of $x$ is same as that of $q$
BThe unit of $x$ is same as that of $p$

DThe unit of $t$ is same as that of $p$
d In $\cos \left(\frac{t}{p}-q x\right),$ the expression $\left(\frac{t}{p}-q x\right)$ is dimensionless. Hence, $t / p$ is also dimensionless. This is possible when units of $t$ are same as that of $p$.

If Surface tension $(S)$, Moment of Inertia $(I)$ and Planck’s constant $(h)$, were to be taken as the fundamental units, the dimensional formula for linear momentum would be
If $P$ represents radiation pressure, $c$ represents speed of light and $Q$ represents radiation energy striking a unit area per second, then non-zero integers $x,\,y$ and $z$ such that ${P^x}{Q^y}{c^z}$ is dimensionless, are
A physical quantity $A$ is related to four observable $a,b,c$ and $d$ as follows, $A = \frac{{{a^2}{b^3}}}{{c\sqrt d }}$, the percentage errors of measurement in $a,b,c$ and $d$ are $1\%,3\%,2\% $ and $2\% $ respectively. What is the percentage error in the quantity $A$ ......... $\%$
If $50$ Vernier divisions are equal to $49$ main scale divisions of a travelling microscope and one smallest reading of main scale is $0.5 \mathrm{~mm}$, the Vernier constant of travelling microscope is:
In an experiment, the following observation's were recorded : $L = 2.820\, m, M = 3.00 \,kg, l = 0.087 \,cm$, Diameter $D = 0.041 \,cm$ Taking $g = 9.81$ $m/{s^2}$ using the formula , $Y=\frac{{4MgL}}{{\pi {D^2}l}}$, the maximum permissible error in $Y$ is ......... $\%$
