19 (c)
From the principle of dimensional homogenity [𝑣] = [𝑎𝑡]⇒[𝑎] = [𝐿𝑇-2]. Similarly [𝑏] = [𝐿]
and [𝑐] = [𝑇]
20 (d)
𝐴 𝑥
Given, 𝑈=𝑥+𝐵 …(i)
Dimensions of 𝑈 = dimensions of potential energy

From Eq. (i),
Dimensions of 𝐵 = dimensions of 𝑥 = [M0LT0]
∴ Dimensions of 𝐴
dimensions of 𝑈 × dimensions of (𝑥 + 𝐵)

dimension of 𝑥
[ML2T-2][M0LT0]
