we know [h] = ML2T–1
[I] = A
[G] = M–1 L3 T–2
[C] = L T–1
[V] = M L2 T–3 A–1
M L2 T–3 A–1 = (M L2 T–1)a (A)b (M–1L3T–2)c (LT–1)d
ML2T–3A–1 = Ma–c L2a+3c+d T–a–2c–d Ab

(1) b2 + b = 12
(2) b2 – b = 30

Answer : (2)
Solution
Let z = α ± iβ be roots of the equation
So 2α = –b and α2 + β2 = 45, (α + 1)2 + β2 = 40
So (α + 1)2 – α2 = –5
