Assertion (A): Dimensional analysis reduces the number of variables an experiment must cover.
Reason (R): The Buckingham pi theorem shows that a relation among n variables with k dimensions reduces to one among n minus k groups.

  • A.A is true but R is false
  • B.A is false but R is true
  • C.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • D.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer: C

Both are true and the reason gives the mechanism: an experiment that would need five variables varied independently may reduce to two dimensionless groups, cutting the work by orders of magnitude. It also tells you how to scale a model to full size.
