Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
F ∝ M1M2
__r2

 

 

=> F = GM1M2
__r2


where F is the force of attraction
M1 and M2 are masses of the two bodies, r is the distance between them, and G is the universal gravitational constant

 

 

 

∴ G = _Fr2
M1M2

 

 

∴ dimension for force, F = ML = MLT-2
T.T

 

 

The dimension for G = MLT-2L2 = L3T-2
_MM _M


= M-1L3T-2
In comparison with MxLyTz, the values for x, y and z = -1, 3, -2

 

There is an explanation video available below.
