The numerical values and units of a physical quantity in two different system of units are `n_(1), n_(2) and u_(1), u_(2)` respectively. Then

A

`n_(1)u_(2)=n_(2)u_(1)`

B

`n_(1)u_(1)^(2)=n_(2)u_(2)^(2)`

C

`n_(1)=n_(2) & u_(1)=u_(2)`

D

`n_(1)u_(1)=n_(2)u_(2)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to establish the relationship between the numerical values and units of a physical quantity in two different systems of units. Let's denote the numerical values as \( n_1 \) and \( n_2 \) and the corresponding units as \( u_1 \) and \( u_2 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Physical Quantity**: - We have a physical quantity that can be expressed in two different systems of units. For instance, if we consider length, we can express it in meters (m) and centimeters (cm). 2. **Setting Up the Relationship**: - In any system of units, the physical quantity can be represented as: \[ \text{Physical Quantity} = n_1 \times u_1 \] for the first system, and \[ \text{Physical Quantity} = n_2 \times u_2 \] for the second system. 3. **Equating the Two Expressions**: - Since both expressions represent the same physical quantity, we can set them equal to each other: \[ n_1 \times u_1 = n_2 \times u_2 \] 4. **Deriving the Final Relationship**: - Rearranging the equation gives us the relationship between the numerical values and units: \[ n_1 u_1 = n_2 u_2 \] 5. **Conclusion**: - Thus, the relationship between the numerical values and units of the physical quantity in the two different systems is given by: \[ n_1 u_1 = n_2 u_2 \] ### Final Answer: The relationship is \( n_1 u_1 = n_2 u_2 \). ---
