Correct answer: D

  1. Find dimensions of each quantity in List-I

    (A) Young’s Modulus

    Young’s modulus = stress / strain.

    Since strain is dimensionless, dimensions of Young’s modulus are same as stress.

    Stress=ForceArea\text{Stress} = \frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}}Stress=AreaForce​

    Force has dimensions: [F]=MLT−2[F] = MLT^{-2}[F]=MLT−2

    Area has dimensions: [A]=L2[A] = L^2[A]=L2

    So, [Y]=MLT−2L2=ML−1T−2[Y] = \frac{MLT^{-2}}{L^2} = ML^{-1}T^{-2}[Y]=L2MLT−2​=ML−1T−2

    Hence, (A)→(II)(A) \to (II)(A)→(II)

  2. (B) Torque

    Torque = force ×\times× perpendicular distance.

    [τ]=(MLT−2)(L)=ML2T−2[\tau] = (MLT^{-2})(L) = ML^2T^{-2}[τ]=(MLT−2)(L)=ML2T−2

    Hence, (B)→(IV)(B) \to (IV)(B)→(IV)

  3. (C) Coefficient of Viscosity

    From Newton’s law of viscosity, F=ηAdvdxF = \eta A \frac{dv}{dx}F=ηAdxdv​

    Therefore, η=FA(dv/dx)\eta = \frac{F}{A(dv/dx)}η=A(dv/dx)F​

    Now, [F]=MLT−2,[A]=L2,[dvdx]=LT−1L=T−1[F] = MLT^{-2}, \quad [A] = L^2, \quad \left[\frac{dv}{dx}\right] = \frac{LT^{-1}}{L} = T^{-1}[F]=MLT−2,[A]=L2,[dxdv​]=LLT−1​=T−1

    So, [η]=MLT−2L2⋅T−1=ML−1T−1[\eta] = \frac{MLT^{-2}}{L^2 \cdot T^{-1}} = ML^{-1}T^{-1}[η]=L2⋅T−1MLT−2​=ML−1T−1

    Hence, (C)→(I)(C) \to (I)(C)→(I)

  4. (D) Gravitational Constant

    From Newton’s law of gravitation, F=Gm1m2r2F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}F=Gr2m1​m2​​

    So, G=Fr2m1m2G = \frac{Fr^2}{m_1m_2}G=m1​m2​Fr2​

    Therefore, [G]=(MLT−2)(L2)M2=M−1L3T−2[G] = \frac{(MLT^{-2})(L^2)}{M^2} = M^{-1}L^3T^{-2}[G]=M2(MLT−2)(L2)​=M−1L3T−2

    Hence, (D)→(III)(D) \to (III)(D)→(III)

  5. Final matching

    (A)−(II),(B)−(IV),(C)−(I),(D)−(III)(A)-(II), \quad (B)-(IV), \quad (C)-(I), \quad (D)-(III)(A)−(II),(B)−(IV),(C)−(I),(D)−(III)

  6. Compare with options

    This corresponds to Option D.

  7. Comparison with stored correct answer

    Stored correct answer = D

    Derived answer = D

    Hence, they agree.
