Consider two physical quantities A and B related to each other as E=(B-x²)/(At) where E, x and t have dimensions of energy, length and time respectively. The dimension of AB is

Asked in JEE Main 31st Jan 2nd Shift 2024 · Constants in a given relation

Answer: (3) [L²M⁻¹T¹]

Step-by-step solution

Idea: B-x² forces B to have the dimension of x².

B=[L²].

From E=B/(At): A=B/(Et)=([L²])/([ML²T⁻²][T])=[M⁻¹T].

AB=[M⁻¹T][L²]=[L²M⁻¹T].

Why the other options are wrong
