Dimensions of base quantities

Assertion (A): The dimensions of base (fundamental) quantity in other base quantities is always zero.
Reason (R): All derived quantities may be represented dimensionally in terms of fundamental quantities.
 
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Base quantities are mutually independent and cannot be defined in terms of each other, making the exponent of one base quantity in another zero. Both statements are true, but R is not the explanation of A.
