Assertion (A): In mechanics the method of dimensions can't be applied to derive formula of a physical quantity which depends on more than three physical quantities.
Reason (R): We can derive relation of a physical quantity with other physical quantities out of which two have same dimensions.
Solution:
In mechanics, we have only three base dimensions (M, L, T). Thus, we cannot determine more than three independent exponents. If two quantities have the same dimensions, they cannot be resolved independently, making R false.
