A spherical body of mass $m$ and radius $r$ is allowed to fall in a medium of viscosity $\eta $. The time in which the velocity of the body increases from zero to $0.63$ times the terminal velocity $(v)$ is called time constant $(\tau )$. Dimensionally $\tau $ can be represented by

If momentum $(P)$, area $(A)$ and time $(T)$ are taken to be fundamental quantities then energy has dimensional formula

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$ : Time period of oscillation of a liquid drop depends on surface tension $(S)$, if density of the liquid is $p$ and radius of the drop is $r$, then $T = k \sqrt{ pr ^{3} / s ^{3 / 2}}$ is dimensionally correct, where $K$ is dimensionless.
Reason $(R)$: Using dimensional analysis we get $R.H.S.$ having different dimension than that of time period.
In the light of above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
