The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each of the four statements regarding dimensional analysis and determine their correctness. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement I**: "The proportionality constant in an equation can be obtained by dimensional analysis." - Dimensional analysis can help establish relationships between physical quantities based on their dimensions, but it cannot determine the exact value of proportionality constants. Therefore, this statement is **false**. 2. **Statement II**: "The equation V = u + at can be derived by dimensional method." - Here, we can analyze the dimensions: - The dimensional formula for velocity (V) and initial velocity (u) is [L T^-1]. - The dimensional formula for acceleration (a) is [L T^-2]. - Time (t) has the dimension [T]. - Therefore, the dimensional formula for at is [L T^-2] * [T] = [L T^-1]. - Since both sides of the equation have the same dimensions, this statement is **true**. 3. **Statement III**: "The equation y = A sin(ωt) cannot be derived by dimensional method." - The equation involves a sine function, which is dimensionless. Dimensional analysis cannot derive relationships involving transcendental functions like sine. Therefore, this statement is **true**. 4. **Statement IV**: "The equation η = (A/B)e^(-Bt) can be derived with dimensional method." - This equation involves constants A and B, and an exponential function. Dimensional analysis cannot be used to derive relationships involving multiple constants and exponential functions. Therefore, this statement is **false**. ### Conclusion: The correct statements are **II and III**. ### Final Answer: The correct options are **II and III**. ---
