Question

Consider the following two statements A and B and identify the correct answer.
A) Two quantities which are to be added must have the same dimensions.
B) Two quantities which are to be multiplied must have the same dimensions.

• A. A is true but B is false
• B. B is true but A is false
• C. Both A and B are true
• D. Both A and B are false

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

A is true but B is false

Since different dimension cannot be added, hence it has to be same.
$2mt+3$ seconds cannot be added.

While 2 quantities to be multiplied may have different dimension.
$x=v\times t$
$L^1=L{T}^{-1}\times T^1=L^1$
Hence, option A is correct.
