  • A
    $[ML^5T^{-2}]$
  • B
    $[ML^{-1}T^{-2}]$
  • C

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: Time period of oscillation of a liquid drop depends on surface tension $(S)$,if density of the liquid is $\rho$ and radius of the drop is $r$,then $T = k \sqrt{\rho r^{3} / S}$ is dimensionally correct,where $k$ is dimensionless.
Reason $(R)$: Using dimensional analysis,we find that the $R.H.S.$ has different dimensions than that of the time period.
