Correct answer:C
Standard Method
Given: Match the physical quantities in List-I with their dimensional formulae in List-II.
Find: The correct matching option.
For each quantity:
So, (A) (\to) (IV).
So, (B) (\to) (II).
So, (C) (\to) (I).
So, (D) (\to) (III).
Therefore, the correct matching is (A)-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(III). The correct option is C.
Step-by-step Dimensional Matching
Given:
Find: Which option gives the correct dimensional matching.
Step 1: Determine the dimensional formula for each quantity in List-I.
(A) Mass density: Mass density is defined as mass per unit volume.
So, (A) matches with (IV).
(B) Impulse: Impulse is defined as the change in momentum or the product of force and time.
Alternatively,
So, (B) matches with (II).
(C) Power: Power is defined as the rate of doing work or the product of force and velocity.
Alternatively,
So, (C) matches with (I).
(D) Moment of inertia: Moment of inertia of a particle is given by .
So, (D) matches with (III).
Step 2: Collect the matches.
Step 3: Choose the correct option. This corresponds to option (3).
Therefore, the correct option is C.
Confusing mass density with linear or surface density is incorrect because density here means mass per unit volume, not per unit length or area. Use , so the dimensions are .
Treating impulse as force alone is incorrect because impulse equals force (\times) time or change in momentum. Therefore its dimensions are , not .
Using the dimensions of work for power is a common error. Power is work done per unit time, so divide by to get .
Missing the squared distance term in moment of inertia is incorrect because . The distance contributes , so the dimensions are , not just or .
