Vedclass · Answer

(D) Relative density is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water at $4^{\circ}C$.$	ext{Relative density} = \frac{	ext{Density of substance}}{	ext{Density of water}}$Since both the numerator and the denominator have the same dimensions $([M L^{-3}])$,they cancel each other out.Therefore,relative density is a dimensionless quantity,represented as $[M^0 L^0 T^0]$.
