If \(\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}\) and C are three different physical quantities with different dimensional formulae, then the combination which can never give a proper physical quantity is

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{BC}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{A B-C^2}{B C}\)
  3. C \(\frac{A-C}{B}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{AC}-\mathrm{B}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{A-C}{B}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Quantities can only be added or subtracted if they have the same dimensional formula. Given that A, B and C have different dimensional formulae, then \( [A] \neq [C] \). The term \( A-C \) is therefore dimensionally inconsistent and cannot be a proper physical quantity. Thus,…
