# Two quantities $A$ and $B$ have different dimensions. Which operation is physically meaningful ?

$A\times B$

##### SOLUTION
As per the principle of homogeneity of dimension, addition subtraction or equality between two quantities of different dimensions are not possible while division and multiplication are possible.

You're just one step away

Q1 Subjective Hard
A tourist purchases a car in England and ships it home to the United States. The car stickers advertised that the car's fuel consumption was the rate of $40$ miles per gallon on the open road.
The tourist does not realize that the $U.K.$ gallon differs from the $U.S.$ gallon:
$1\ U.K.$ gallon $=4.546\ 090\ 0$ litres
$1\ U.S.$ gallon $=3.785\ 411.8$ litres
For a trip of $750$ miles (in the United states), how many gallons of fuel does
the mistaken tourist believe she needs
