Correct answer: A

  1. We need the dimensional formula of a quantity whose SI unit is pascal-second.

  2. First, write pascal in terms of fundamental units: 1 pascal=1 Pa=1 Nm21\,\text{pascal} = 1\,\text{Pa} = 1\,\frac{\text{N}}{\text{m}^2}1pascal=1Pa=1m2N​

  3. Now, the unit of force is: 1 N=1 kg⋅m⋅s−21\,\text{N} = 1\,\text{kg}\cdot \text{m}\cdot \text{s}^{-2}1N=1kg⋅m⋅s−2 So, 1 Pa=kg⋅m⋅s−2m2=kg⋅m−1⋅s−21\,\text{Pa} = \frac{\text{kg}\cdot \text{m}\cdot \text{s}^{-2}}{\text{m}^2} = \text{kg}\cdot \text{m}^{-1}\cdot \text{s}^{-2}1Pa=m2kg⋅m⋅s−2​=kg⋅m−1⋅s−2

  4. Therefore, the dimensional formula of pascal is: [Pa]=[ML−1T−2][\text{Pa}] = [M L^{-1} T^{-2}][Pa]=[ML−1T−2]

  5. The given unit is pascal-second: Pa⋅s\text{Pa}\cdot \text{s}Pa⋅s Multiply the dimensions of pascal by TTT: [ML−1T−2]⋅[T]=[ML−1T−1][M L^{-1} T^{-2}] \cdot [T] = [M L^{-1} T^{-1}][ML−1T−2]⋅[T]=[ML−1T−1]

  6. So the required dimensional formula is: [ML−1T−1][M L^{-1} T^{-1}][ML−1T−1]

  7. Compare with options:

    • A: [ML−1T−1][M L^{-1} T^{-1}][ML−1T−1] ✅
    • B: [ML−1T−2][M L^{-1} T^{-2}][ML−1T−2]
    • C: [ML2T−1][M L^2 T^{-1}][ML2T−1]
    • D: [M−1L3T0][M^{-1} L^3 T^0][M−1L3T0]

Hence, the correct option is A.
