JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 1. units,dimensions and measurement

Given below are two statements : Statements \(I\) : Astronomical unit \((Au)\). Parsec \((Pc)\) and Light year \((ly)\) are units for measuring astronomical distances. Statements \(II:\) \(Au < Parsec ( Pc ) < ly\) In the light of the above statements. choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  1. A Both Statements \(I\) and Statements \(II\) are correct.
  2. B Statements \(I\) is correct but Statements \(II\) is incorrect.
  3. C Both Statements \(I\) and Statements \(II\) are incorrect.
  4. D Statements \(I\) is incorrect but statements \(II\) is correct.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Statements \(I\) is correct but Statements \(II\) is incorrect.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(1 AU =1.496 \times 10^{11}\,m\) \(1 \text { par sec }=3.08 \times 10^{16}\,m\) \(1 \text { light year }=9.46 \times 10^{15}\,m\) So, \(Au < ly < Per\,sec\)
