In the Van der Waals equation $\left[ P + \frac{a}{V^2} \right] [V - b] = RT$,where $P$ is pressure,$V$ is volume,$R$ is the universal gas constant,and $T$ is temperature,the ratio of constants $\frac{a}{b}$ is dimensionally equal to:

  • A
    $\frac{P}{V}$
  • B
    $\frac{V}{P}$
  • C
    $PV$
  • D
    $PV^3$

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 $\rho$ and radius of the drop is $r$,then $T = k \sqrt{\rho r^{3} / S}$ is dimensionally correct,where $k$ is dimensionless.
Reason $(R)$: Using dimensional analysis,we find that the $R.H.S.$ has different dimensions than that of the time period.
