    Which of the following sets cannot enter into the list of fundamental quantities in any system of units?
    -(a) length, mass and velocity,
    (b) length, time and velocity,
    (c) mass, time and velocity,
    (d) length, time and mass.
    digAnsr:   b
    Ans : (b) length, time and velocity
    We define length and time separately as it is not possible to define velocity without using these quantities. This means that onefundamental quantity depends on the other. So, these quantities cannot be listed as fundamental quantities in any system of units.
