Q. The time dependence of a physical quantity $P$ is given by $P = P_{0}e^{at^{2}} - at^{2}$ where $\alpha$ is a constant and $t$ is time. Then constant $\alpha$ is

A) Dimensionless
B) Dimensionless of $T^{- 2}$
C) Dimensionless of $P$
D) Dimensionless of $T^{2}$
Explanation

Here $\alpha t^{2}$ is a dimensionless. Therefore, $\alpha = \frac{1}{t^{2}}$ and has the dimension of $\left\lbrack T^{- 2}\ \right\rbrack.$
