Correct answer
Ax, y and z have the same dimension.

Step-by-step explanation

(a) Dimensions of quantity are given bellow

μ0=T m A-1=Wb m-1 A-1=V s m-1 C-1 s=N C-2 s2ε0=C2 N-1m-2

Now the dimension of x is given by

x=1μ00=1N C-2 s2C2 N-1m-2x=m s-1

(b) The dimension of electric and magnetic field is given by,

B=T=Wb m-2=V s m-2E=V m-1

Now the dimension of y is given by,

 y=EB=V m-1V s m-2=m s-1

(c) The dimension of capacitance and resistance is given by, 

C=C V-1R=V C-1 s

Now the dimension of z is given by

 z=lCR=mC V-1V C-1 s=m s-1

All quantities are having the dimensions of velocity.
