Q. Assertion: The dimensional formula for product of resistance and conductance is same as for dielectric constant.
Reason: Both have dimensions of time constant.

AIIMSAIIMS 2009Physical World, Units and Measurements

Solution:

Both the quantities are dimensionless.
Resistance $\times$ conductance $=R \times 1 / R=\left(M^{0} L^{0} T^{0}\right)$
$=1$ and Dielectric constant $K$ is dimensionless.
