Ninja Strategy•Systematic Elimination by Constant

Derive the dimensions for one constant at a time and eliminate options that do not match, progressively narrowing down to the correct answer.

Step 1: Determine dimensions for Boltzmann constant and Planck's constant✦ Active

The Boltzmann constant kB relates energy E to temperature T via E=kBT. Planck's constant h relates energy E to frequency ν via E=hν.

[kB]=[E][T]=ML2T−2K=ML2T−2K−1⟹A - III [h]=[E][ν]=ML2T−2T−1=ML2T−1⟹C - I
Step 2: Determine dimensions for coefficient of viscosity and thermal conductivity○ Expand

The coefficient of viscosity η is derived from Stokes' law F=6πηrv. Thermal conductivity K is derived from Fourier's law of heat conduction dQdt=−KAdTdx, where dQdt is power.

[η]=[F][r][v]=MLT−2L⋅LT−1=ML−1T−1⟹B - IV [K]=[Power][A][dTdx]=ML2T−3L2⋅KL=MLT−3K−1⟹D - II
Step 3: Match the constants to their dimensions○ Expand

Based on the derived dimensions, the correct matches are: A - III, B - IV, C - I, D - II. Comparing this with the given options, option 1 is the correct answer.
