    P =
    a3 b2
    ,
    ∆P
    × 100% = 3
    ∆a
    × 100% + 2
    ∆b
    × 100% +
    ∆c
    × 100% +
    ∆d
    × 100%
    cdPabcd

    = 3 × 1% + 2 × 2% + 3% + 4% = 14%

    Correct Option: D

    P =
    a3 b2
    ,
    ∆P
    × 100% = 3
    ∆a
    × 100% + 2
    ∆b
    × 100% +
    ∆c
    × 100% +
    ∆d
    × 100%
    cdPabcd

    = 3 × 1% + 2 × 2% + 3% + 4% = 14%

    CR = [M–1L–2T4A2] [M1L2T–3A–2]
    = [M0L0T1] ​

    Correct Option: A

    CR = [M–1L–2T4A2] [M1L2T–3A–2]
    = [M0L0T1] ​



  1. The dimensional formula for angular momentum is​​

    [Angular momentum ] ​= [Momentum of inertia] × [Angular velocity] ​
    = ML2 × T–1 ​= ML2T–1

    Correct Option: B

    [Angular momentum ] ​= [Momentum of inertia] × [Angular velocity] ​
    = ML2 × T–1 ​= ML2T–1
