    If P represents radiation pressure, c represents speed of light and Q represents radiation energy striking a unit area per second then non-zero integers\[x,\text{ }y\]and z such that\[{{P}^{x}}{{Q}^{y}}{{c}^{z}}\]is dimensionless, are

    A) \[x=1,y=1,z=-1\]              

    B) \[x=1,y=-1,z=1\]

    C)  \[x=-1,y=1,z=1\]             

    D)  \[x=1,y=1,z=1\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     \[[P]=\frac{[F]}{[A]}=[M{{L}^{-1}}{{T}^{-2}}],[c]=[L{{T}^{-1}}]\] \[[Q]=\frac{[E]}{[A][T]}=[M{{T}^{-3}}]\] As given, \[{{P}^{x}}{{Q}^{y}}{{c}^{z}}=[{{M}^{0}}{{L}^{0}}{{T}^{0}}]\] \[{{[M{{L}^{-1}}{{T}^{2}}]}^{x}}{{[L{{T}^{-1}}]}^{2}}{{[M{{T}^{-3}}]}^{y}}=[{{M}^{0}}{{L}^{0}}{{T}^{0}}]\]\[{{M}^{x+y}}{{L}^{-x+z}}{{T}^{-2x-z-3y}}=[{{M}^{0}}{{L}^{0}}{{T}^{0}}]\] \[\therefore \]  \[x+y=0\] \[-x+z=0\] \[-2x-z-3y=0\] Solving, we get \[x=1,y=-1,z=1\]
