The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which relation cannot be deduced using dimensional analysis, we will follow a step-by-step approach. ### Step 1: Understand Dimensional Analysis Dimensional analysis is a method used in physics to analyze the dimensions of physical quantities. It helps in checking the consistency of equations and deriving relationships between different physical quantities. However, it has limitations. ### Step 2: Identify the Limitations The key limitation of dimensional analysis is that it can only be used to deduce relationships involving products of quantities raised to powers (i.e., power functions). It cannot be used to deduce relationships involving sums or differences of quantities. ### Step 3: Analyze the Options Now, we need to analyze the options provided in the question. The options typically involve relationships between physical quantities, such as: 1. Equating dimensions of different quantities. 2. Relationships involving sums (e.g., \( A + B \)). 3. Relationships involving products (e.g., \( A \times B \)). 4. Specific equations like kinetic energy \( K = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \). ### Step 4: Evaluate Each Option - **Option 1**: Equating dimensions of two quantities can be done using dimensional analysis. - **Option 2**: If the relation involves a sum (e.g., \( A + B \)), dimensional analysis cannot be used to derive this directly. - **Option 3**: Relationships involving products can be analyzed using dimensional analysis. - **Option 4**: The equation for kinetic energy \( K = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \) involves a constant (1/2) which cannot be derived from dimensional analysis alone. ### Step 5: Conclusion Since dimensional analysis cannot deduce relationships involving sums or constants, the option that cannot be deduced using dimensional analysis is the one involving sums or specific constants in equations. ### Final Answer Thus, the relation that cannot be deduced using dimensional analysis is **all of these**, as they all involve either sums or constants. ---
