Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To analyze the correctness of the two statements regarding physical quantities, we can break down the evaluation into clear steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the First Statement**: - The first statement claims that "A physical quantity can have dimensions but no units." - Dimensions refer to the physical nature of a quantity, expressed in terms of fundamental quantities (like mass, length, time, etc.). - If a quantity has dimensions, it is inherently linked to the fundamental physical quantities, which means it must also have a corresponding unit of measurement. ...
