Angular momentum is given as
L = Iω ------------ (1)
SI unit for I is kgm².
Hence, dimensional formula of I becomes ML².

Therefore, dimensional formula of angular velocity is T^-1 .
Thus, dimensional formula of angular momentum from equation 1 becomes
ML² / T Or ML²T^-1

Hence, D is the correct answer option.

Instantaneous speed of a body is the speed possessed by it at any particular time instant. Instantaneous speed is a variable and changes accordingly. Speedometer is a device that is used by the vehicles to know the speed possessed by it at that instant. Average velocity or speed provides speed of the body for the full journey. It is given as the total distance travelled in total time taken. As in the question the total time and the total distance are given, hence average speed can be found as
Average speed = Total Distance / Total Time ------------- (1)
Since, distance and time are given in kilometers and minutes we need to convert them Putting the values in equation 1 we get
Average speed = 8.33 m/s
Instantaneous acceleration is related to instantaneous speed. Hence, instantaneous acceleration cannot be found here. Thus, B is the correct answer option.
