    A physcial quantity \[x\] depends on quantities \[y\] and \[z\] as follows: \[x=Ay+B\tan Cz\], where \[A,\,B\] and \[C\]  are constants. Which of the following do not have the same dimensions            [AMU (Engg.) 2001]

    A)             \[x\] and \[B\]  

    B)             \[C\] and \[{{z}^{-1}}\]

    C)             \[y\] and \[B/A\]          

    D)             \[x\] and \[A\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    \[x=Ay+B\,\tan Cz\]             From the dimensional homogenity             \[[x]=[Ay]=[B]\Rightarrow \left[ \frac{x}{A} \right]=[y]=\left[ \frac{B}{A} \right]\]             \[[Cz]=[{{M}^{0}}{{L}^{0}}{{T}^{0}}]=\]Dimension less \[x\] and \[B\]; \[C\] and \[{{Z}^{-1}};y\] and \[\frac{B}{A}\]  have the same dimension but  \[x\] and \[A\] have the different dimensions.
