Step-by-Step Solution

To determine which combination of LL, CC, and RR has the dimensional formula [M L2T4A2][\text{M L}^2 \text{T}^{-4} \text{A}^{-2}], we first derive the dimensional formulas for inductance (LL), capacitance (CC), and resistance (RR).

  1. Dimension of Resistance (RR): Using the formula for electrical power P=I2RP = I^2 R, we have: R=PI2R = \frac{P}{I^2} Since [P]=[M L2T3][P] = [\text{M L}^2 \text{T}^{-3}] and [I]=[A][I] = [\text{A}], [R]=[M L2T3][A]2=[M L2T3A2][R] = \frac{[\text{M L}^2 \text{T}^{-3}]}{[\text{A}]^2} = [\text{M L}^2 \text{T}^{-3} \text{A}^{-2}]

  2. Dimension of Inductance (LL) and Capacitance (CC): The LC circuit resonant angular frequency is given by ω0=1LC\omega_0 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}. Since the dimension of angular frequency ω0\omega_0 is [T1][\text{T}^{-1}], we have: [1LC]=[T1]\left[\frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}\right] = [\text{T}^{-1}] [LC]=[T][\sqrt{LC}] = [\text{T}]

  3. Evaluating Option A (RLC\frac{R}{\sqrt{LC}}): [RLC]=[R][LC]=[M L2T3A2][T]=[M L2T4A2]\left[\frac{R}{\sqrt{LC}}\right] = \frac{[R]}{[\sqrt{LC}]} = \frac{[\text{M L}^2 \text{T}^{-3} \text{A}^{-2}]}{[\text{T}]} = [\text{M L}^2 \text{T}^{-4} \text{A}^{-2}]

This matches the given dimensional formula [M L2T4A2][\text{M L}^2 \text{T}^{-4} \text{A}^{-2}].

Thus, the correct option is A.
