Correct answer: B

  1. Given equation

    v=At2+BtC+tv = At^2 + \frac{Bt}{C+t}v=At2+C+tBt​

    Since vvv is velocity, its dimension is

    [v]=[LT−1][v] = [LT^{-1}][v]=[LT−1]

  2. Find dimension of AAA

    The term At2At^2At2 must have the same dimension as velocity:

    [A][t2]=[LT−1][A][t^2] = [LT^{-1}][A][t2]=[LT−1]

    Since [t]=[T][t]=[T][t]=[T],

    [A][T2]=[LT−1][A][T^2] = [LT^{-1}][A][T2]=[LT−1]

    [A]=[LT−3][A] = [LT^{-3}][A]=[LT−3]

  3. Find dimension of CCC

    In the denominator, (C+t)(C+t)(C+t) is a sum, so CCC and ttt must have the same dimension:

    [C]=[T][C] = [T][C]=[T]

  4. Find dimension of BBB

    The second term must also have dimension of velocity:

    [BtC+t]=[LT−1]\left[\frac{Bt}{C+t}\right] = [LT^{-1}][C+tBt​]=[LT−1]

    Since [C+t]=[T][C+t]=[T][C+t]=[T], we get

    [BtT]=[B]\left[\frac{Bt}{T}\right] = [B][TBt​]=[B]

    because ttt also has dimension TTT, so

    [B][T][T]=[B]\frac{[B][T]}{[T]} = [B][T][B][T]​=[B]

    Therefore,

    [B]=[LT−1][B] = [LT^{-1}][B]=[LT−1]

  5. Find dimension of ABCABCABC

    [ABC]=[A][B][C][ABC] = [A][B][C][ABC]=[A][B][C]

    =[LT−3] [LT−1] [T]= [LT^{-3}]\,[LT^{-1}]\,[T]=[LT−3][LT−1][T]

    =[L2T−3]= [L^2T^{-3}]=[L2T−3]

    Including mass exponent explicitly,

    [ABC]=[M0L2T−3][ABC] = [M^0L^2T^{-3}][ABC]=[M0L2T−3]

  6. Match with options

    This corresponds to Option B.
