The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will evaluate each statement regarding dimensional analysis step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the First Statement The first statement claims that "the value of dimensionless constants or proportionality constants cannot be found by dimensional methods." **Analysis:** - Dimensional analysis is a technique used to understand the relationships between physical quantities by identifying their dimensions (e.g., mass, length, time). - However, dimensionless constants (like π, e, or proportionality constants in equations) do not have dimensions. Dimensional analysis cannot provide information about these constants because it relies on dimensional quantities. **Conclusion for Step 1:** This statement is true. ### Step 2: Understand the Second Statement The second statement claims that "the equations containing trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions cannot be analyzed by dimensional methods." **Analysis:** - Dimensional analysis is not applicable to equations that involve trigonometric functions (like sin, cos), exponential functions (like e^x), or logarithmic functions (like log(x)). - These functions do not have dimensions, and their behavior cannot be captured through dimensional analysis, which focuses on dimensional quantities. **Conclusion for Step 2:** This statement is also true. ### Step 3: Combine the Conclusions Since both statements have been evaluated and found to be true, we can conclude that the correct answer is that both statements (A and B) are true. ### Final Answer Both statements A and B are true. Therefore, the correct option is option 1. ---
