The equation $\frac{{dV}}{{dt}} = At - BV$ is describing the rate of change of velocity of a body falling from rest in a resisting medium. The dimensions of $A$ and $B$ are
A$LT^{-3}, T$
B$LT^{-3}, T^{-1}$
C$LT, T$
D$LT, T^{-1}$

B$LT^{-3}, T^{-1}$
b Given, $\mathrm{dv} / \mathrm{dt}=\mathrm{At}-\mathrm{Bv}$
Here, dv/dt is rate of change of velocity, v is velocity and t is time.
So, dimension of $A=\left[L T^{-2}\right] /[T]=\left[L T^{-1}\right]$
$\therefore$ dimension of $\mathrm{A}=\left[\mathrm{L} T^{-3}\right]$
Dimension of $\mathrm{B}=\left[\mathrm{L} T^{-2}\right] /\left[\mathrm{L} T^{-1}\right]=\left[\mathrm{T}^{-1}\right]$
$\therefore$ dimension of $\mathrm{B}=\left[\mathrm{T}^{-1}\right]$

The dimensions of the area $A$ of a black hole can be written in terms of the universal gravitational constant $G$, its mass $M$ and the speed of light $c$ as $A=G^\alpha M^\beta c^\gamma$. Here,
The mass of the body is $10.000\,g$ and its volume is $10.00\,cm^3$. If the measured values are expressed upto the correct significant figures, the maximum error in the measurement of density is
In an experiment the angles are required to be measured using an instrument, $29$ divisions of the main scale exactly coincide with the $30$ divisions of the vernier scale. If the smallest division of the main scale is half- a degree $(= 0.5^o )$, then the least count of the instrument is
To find the distance $d$ over which a signal can be seen clearly in foggy conditions, a railways engineer uses dimensional analysis and assumes that the distance depends on the mass density $\rho$ of the fog, intensity (power/area) $S$ of the light from the signal and its frequency $f$. The engineer find that $d$ is proportional to $S ^{1 / n}$. The value of $n$ is:
