Correct answer: B

  1. We compare dimensions of each pair.

  2. Option A: torque and work

    • Torque =force×distance= \text{force} \times \text{distance}=force×distance [τ]=[F][L]=(MLT−2)(L)=ML2T−2[\tau] = [F][L] = (MLT^{-2})(L) = ML^2T^{-2}[τ]=[F][L]=(MLT−2)(L)=ML2T−2
    • Work =force×displacement= \text{force} \times \text{displacement}=force×displacement [W]=[F][L]=ML2T−2[W] = [F][L] = ML^2T^{-2}[W]=[F][L]=ML2T−2
    • Same dimensions.
  3. Option B: momentum and Planck's constant

    • Momentum: [p]=MLT−1[p] = MLT^{-1}[p]=MLT−1
    • Planck's constant hhh: h=(energy)×(time)h = (\text{energy})\times(\text{time})h=(energy)×(time) [h]=(ML2T−2)(T)=ML2T−1[h] = (ML^2T^{-2})(T) = ML^2T^{-1}[h]=(ML2T−2)(T)=ML2T−1
    • These are not same because momentum has L1L^1L1 while Planck's constant has L2L^2L2.
    • So this pair has different dimensions.
  4. Option C: stress and Young's modulus

    • Stress =forcearea= \dfrac{\text{force}}{\text{area}}=areaforce​ [stress]=MLT−2L2=ML−1T−2[\text{stress}] = \frac{MLT^{-2}}{L^2} = ML^{-1}T^{-2}[stress]=L2MLT−2​=ML−1T−2
    • Young's modulus =stressstrain= \dfrac{\text{stress}}{\text{strain}}=strainstress​
    • Strain is dimensionless, so [Y]=[stress]=ML−1T−2[Y] = [\text{stress}] = ML^{-1}T^{-2}[Y]=[stress]=ML−1T−2
    • Same dimensions.
  5. Option D: speed and (μ0ε0)−1/2({\mu_0\varepsilon_0})^{-1/2}(μ0​ε0​)−1/2

    • From electromagnetic wave relation: c=1μ0ε0c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0\varepsilon_0}}c=μ0​ε0​​1​
    • Since ccc is speed, (μ0ε0)−1/2({\mu_0\varepsilon_0})^{-1/2}(μ0​ε0​)−1/2 has dimensions of speed: LT−1LT^{-1}LT−1
    • Same dimensions.
  6. Therefore, the only pair not having same dimensions is: B\boxed{\text{B}}B​
