Let the dimension of time [T] be expressed in terms of Planck's constant [h], gravitational constant [G], and speed of light [v] as: [T] = [h]a[G]b[v]c We need to find the values of a, b, and c. Let's write down the dimensions of h, G, and v in terms of mass [M], length [L], and time [T]: [h] (Planck's constant) has dimensions of energy × time, so: [h] = [M L2 T-2][T]=[M L2 T-1] [G] (Gravitational constant) is obtained from Newton's law of gravitation F = (Gm1m2)/r2 so G = (Fr2/ m1m2): [G] = [M-1 L3 T-2] [v] (speed of light) has dimensions of length per time: [v] = [L T-1] Now, substitute these dimensions into the equation for [T]: [T] = [M L2 T-1]a [M-1 L3 T-2]b [L T-1]c [T] = [Ma L2a T-a] [M-b L3b T-2b] [Lc T-c] [T] = [Ma-b L2a+3b+c T-a-2b-c] For the dimensions to be equal on both sides, the powers of M, L, and T must be the same: For M: a − b = 0 ⟹ a = b (1) For L: 2a + 3b + c = 0 (2) For T: −a − 2b – c =1 (3) Substitute a = b from (1) into (2) and (3): From (2): 2a + 3a +c = 0 ⟹ 5a + c = 0 ⟹ c = −5a (4) From (3): −a−2a−c = 1 ⟹ −3a − c = 1 (5) Now substitute c = −5a from (4) into (5): −3a−(−5a)=1 −3a+5a=1 2a=1 a = 1/2 Since a = b, we have b=1/2. Now substitute the value of a into equation (4) to find c: c = -5a = -5/2 The dimension of time is [h1/2 G1/2 v-5/2] Therefore, the correct answer is option (C).
