Solution

The correct option is C [A1/2T1P]
Let the dimensional formula of energy will be,
[E]=[AaTbPc]
[M1L2T2]=[L2aTbMcLcTc]
E=F×d, P=mv
(Energy is equivalent to work)
[M1L2T2]=[McL2a+cTbc]
From principle of homogeneity, equating the coefficients on both sides:
c=1
2a+c=2
2a=1[c=1]
a=12
Similarly, bc=2
b=2(1)=1
Hence, [E]=[A1/2T1P1]
