Asked in NEET 2022 · Dimensional and dimensionless quantities

Answer: (1) units but no dimensions

Step-by-step solution

Idea: check the definition of each, then ask separately about units and about dimensions.

θ=(arc)/(radius)=([L])/([L])

Ω=(area)/((radius)²)=([L²])/([L²])

Both are pure ratios, so both are dimensionless.

They are still measured in named units, the radian and the steradian.

So they have units but no dimensions.
