Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): The dimensions of Planck's constant and angular momentum are same.
Statement (II): In Bohr's model electron revolve around the nucleus only in those orbits for which angular momentum is integral multiple of Planck's constant.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
A.Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
B.Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
C.Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Statement I: Comparing the dimensional formula of Planck's constant (h$h$) and angular momentum (L$L$), both are identical [ML²T⁻¹]$[\text{M}\text{L}^2\text{T}^{-1}]$. Hence, Statement I is correct.
Statement II: According to Bohr's second postulate, angular momentum is an integral multiple of (h)/(2π)$\frac{h}{2\pi}$, not an integral multiple of h$h$. Hence, Statement II is incorrect.
Pattern Recognition
Watch out for exact definitions in standard postulates. Bohr's model requires angular momentum to be quantized in units of = (h)/(2π)$\hbar = \frac{h}{2\pi}$, making statement II a classic trap.

Q23jee_main_2025_29_jan_eveningCombination of Errors
A physical quantity Q$Q$ is related to four observables a, b, c, d$a, b, c, d$ as follows: Q = (ab⁴)/(cd)$Q = \frac{ab^4}{cd}$ where, a = (60 ± 3)~Pa$a = (60 \pm 3)\mathrm{~Pa}$ ; b = (20 ± 0.1)~m$b = (20 \pm 0.1)\mathrm{~m}$ ; c = (40 ± 0.2)~Nsm⁻²$c = (40 \pm 0.2)\mathrm{~Nsm}^{-2}$ and d = (50 ± 0.1)~m$d = (50 \pm 0.1)\mathrm{~m}$ , then the percentage error in Q$Q$ is (x)/(1000)$\frac{x}{1000}$ , where x =$x = $ ______.
Given that percentage error equals (x)/(1000)$\frac{x}{1000}$:
(x)/(1000) = 7.7 x = 7700$$\frac{x}{1000} = 7.7 \implies x = 7700$$

Q21jee_main_2025_28_jan_morningErrors in Measurement
A tiny metallic rectangular sheet has length and breadth of 5 ~mm$5 \mathrm{~mm}$ and 2.5 ~mm$2.5 \mathrm{~mm}$ , respectively. Using a specially designed screw gauge which has pitch of 0.75 ~mm$0.75 \mathrm{~mm}$ and 15 divisions in the circular scale, you are asked to find the area of the sheet. In this measurement, the maximum fractional error will be x100$\frac{\mathrm{x}}{100}$ where x$\mathrm{x}$ is ________.
Numerical Answer.Answer: 3 to 3
Solution
Core Logic
First, find the least count of the measurement tool:
Least Count = PitchNumber of circular scale divisions = 0.75 ~mm15 = 0.05 ~mm$$\text{Least Count} = \frac{\text{Pitch}}{\text{Number of circular scale divisions}} = \frac{0.75 \mathrm{~mm}}{15} = 0.05 \mathrm{~mm}$$
Least count calculation tracking diagram for Q21
The area of the rectangular metallic sheet is calculated as:
A = L · W$$\mathrm{A} = \mathrm{L} \cdot \mathrm{W}$$
Expressing the absolute error via fractional configuration parts:
Comparing this to the target format x100$\frac{\mathrm{x}}{100}$ gives:
x = 3$\mathrm{x} = 3$
Pattern Recognition
The absolute measurement uncertainty matches the instrument's least count value directly. Sum up individual fractional errors to compute the total area uncertainty parameter.
In a measurement, it is asked to find modulus of elasticity per unit torque applied on the system. The measured quantity has dimension of [MaLbTc]$\left[\mathrm{M}^{\mathrm{a}}\mathrm{L}^{\mathrm{b}}\mathrm{T}^{\mathrm{c}}\right]$ . If b = 3$b = 3$ , the value of c$c$ is
Numerical Answer.Answer: 0 to 0
Solution
Core Logic
Let's find the dimensional formula for the ratio of Modulus of Elasticity to Torque:
Comparing this output to the target layout formula [Ma Lb Tc]$[\mathrm{M}^{\mathrm{a}} \mathrm{L}^{\mathrm{b}} \mathrm{T}^{\mathrm{c}}]$:
c = 0$\mathrm{c} = 0$
Pattern Recognition
Both dimensions share identical time dependence factors (T⁻²$\mathrm{T}^{-2}$), meaning they cancel out completely. This leaves the time exponent value as exactly zero.
To save precious exam time on match-the-column questions, start with the easiest dimensional terms first. You know Acceleration due to gravity is g arrow [LT⁻²]$g \rightarrow [LT^{-2}]$ (D-I) and energy is [ML²T⁻²]$[ML^2T^{-2}]$ (B-III). Looking at the options, only Option 1 matches this sequence immediately!
