    The velocity v (in cm/s) of a particle is given in terms of time t (in s) by the equation, \[v=at+\frac{b}{t+c}\] The dimensions of a, b and c are

    A)  a-\[[{{L}^{2}}]\]         b-\[[T]\]            c-\[[L{{T}^{2}}]\]

    B)  a-\[[L{{T}^{2}}]\]      b-\[[LT]\]         c-\[[L]\]

    C)   a-\[[L{{T}^{-2}}]\]     b-\[[L]\]            c-\[[T]\]

    D)  a-\[[L]\]           b-\[[LT]\]          c-\[[{{T}^{2}}]\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[v=at+\frac{b}{t+c}\] \[[at]=[v]=[L{{T}^{-1}}]\] \[\therefore \] \[[a]=\frac{[L{{T}^{-1}}]}{[T]}=[L{{T}^{-2}}]\] Dimensions of\[c=[t]=[T]\] (we can add quantities of same dimensions only). \[\left[ \frac{b}{t+c} \right]=[v]=[L{{T}^{-1}}]\] \[[b]=[L{{T}^{-1}}][T]=[L]\]
