We need to check both the Assertion and the Reason.
Checking Assertion A: Dimension of P × t
Pressure $$P$$ has dimensions: $$[P] = [ML^{-1}T^{-2}]$$
Time $$t$$ has dimensions: $$[t] = [T]$$
So, $$[P \times t] = [ML^{-1}T^{-2}] \times [T] = [ML^{-1}T^{-1}]$$
Dimension of coefficient of viscosity ($$\eta$$):
From the formula: $$\eta = \frac{F}{A \times \text{velocity gradient}}$$
Velocity gradient = $$\frac{dv}{dx}$$ has dimensions $$[T^{-1}]$$
So, $$[\eta] = \frac{[MLT^{-2}]}{[L^2][T^{-1}]} = \frac{[MLT^{-2}]}{[L^2T^{-1}]} = [ML^{-1}T^{-1}]$$
Since $$[P \times t] = [ML^{-1}T^{-1}] = [\eta]$$, the Assertion is TRUE.
Checking Reason R:
The Reason states: Coefficient of viscosity = $$\frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Velocity gradient}}$$
The correct formula is: $$F = \eta A \frac{dv}{dx}$$, which gives $$\eta = \frac{F}{A \times \frac{dv}{dx}}$$
The Reason is missing the area $$A$$ in the denominator. So the Reason is FALSE.
Since Assertion A is true but Reason R is false, the correct answer is Option C.
