A new system of units is proposed in which unit of mass is $\alpha $ $kg$, unit of length $\beta $ $m$ and unit of time $\gamma $ $s$. How much will $5\,J$ measure in this new system ?
$[$ Energy $]=\left[\mathrm{ML}^{2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]$
Let $\mathrm{M}_{1}, \mathrm{~L}_{1}, \mathrm{~T}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{M}_{2}, \mathrm{~L}_{2}, \mathrm{~T}_{2}$ are units of mass, length and time in given two systems,
$\therefore \mathrm{M}_{1} =1 \mathrm{~kg}, \mathrm{~L}_{1}=1 \mathrm{~m}, \mathrm{~T}_{1}=1 \mathrm{~s}$
$\mathrm{M}_{2} =\alpha \mathrm{kg}, \mathrm{L}_{2}=\beta \mathrm{m}, \mathrm{T}_{2}=\gamma \mathrm{s}$
The magnitude of a physical quantity remains the same, whatever be the system of units of its measurement i.e.,
$n_{1} u_{1} =n_{2} u_{2}$
$n_{2}=n_{1} \frac{u_{1}}{u_{2}}=n_{1} \frac{\left[\mathrm{M}_{1} \mathrm{~L}_{1}^{2} \mathrm{~T}_{1}^{-2}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{M}_{2} \mathrm{~L}_{2}^{2} \mathrm{~T}_{2}^{-2}\right]}=5\left[\frac{\mathrm{M}_{1}}{\mathrm{M}_{2}}\right] \times\left[\frac{\mathrm{L}_{1}}{\mathrm{~L}_{2}}\right]^{2} \times\left[\frac{\mathrm{T}_{1}}{\mathrm{~T}_{2}}\right]^{-2}$
$=5\left[\frac{1}{\alpha}\right] \times\left[\frac{1}{\beta}\right]^{2} \times\left[\frac{1}{\gamma}\right]^{-2}$
$=5\times \frac{1}{\alpha} \times \frac{1}{\beta^{2}} \times \frac{1}{\gamma^{-2}}$
$n_{2} =\frac{5 \gamma^{2}}{\alpha \beta^{2}}$
Thus, new unit of energy will be $\frac{\gamma^{2}}{\alpha \beta^{2}}$

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.

Stokes' law states that the viscous drag force $F$ experienced by a sphere of radius $a$, moving with a speed $v$ through a fluid with coefficient of viscosity $\eta$, is given by $F=6 \pi \eta a v$.If this fluid is flowing through a cylindrical pipe of radius $r$, length $l$ and a pressure difference of $p$ across its two ends, then the volume of water $V$ which flows through the pipe in time $t$ can be written as
$\frac{v}{t}=k\left(\frac{p}{l}\right)^a \eta^b r^c$
where, $k$ is a dimensionless constant. Correct value of $a, b$ and $c$ are
