The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options can denote a new physical quantity when A and B are two physical quantities with different dimensions, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Dimensions**: - A and B have different dimensions. This means that they cannot be directly added or subtracted because physical quantities must have the same dimensions to perform such operations. 2. **Analyzing Option A: A + 3B**: - The expression A + 3B combines A and B. - Since A and B have different dimensions, the sum A + 3B does not yield a new physical quantity. - **Conclusion**: Option A does not denote a new physical quantity. 3. **Analyzing Option B: 3A - B**: - Similar to Option A, this expression also combines A and B. - The subtraction of B from 3A does not change the fact that A and B have different dimensions. - **Conclusion**: Option B does not denote a new physical quantity. 4. **Analyzing Option C: A³ + 3B³**: - In this case, we are cubing both A and B. - Although both terms are raised to a power, they still have different dimensions. - The addition of A³ and 3B³ does not create a new physical quantity because they remain incompatible in terms of dimensions. - **Conclusion**: Option C does not denote a new physical quantity. 5. **Analyzing Option D: (A^(1/3)) * (3B³)**: - Here, A is raised to the power of 1/3 and B is raised to the power of 3. - This operation combines A and B in a way that alters their dimensions. - The dimensions of A^(1/3) and B³ can potentially combine to form a new physical quantity because they are not directly added or subtracted. - **Conclusion**: Option D can denote a new physical quantity. ### Final Answer: The option that can denote a new physical quantity is **Option D**.
