To determine which pair does not have equal dimensions, let's examine each option closely.

Analysis of Each Pair

A. Energy and Torque

Energy has the dimension of [ML2T-2], while torque has the dimension of [ML2T-2] as well. Thus, these two have equal dimensions.

B. Force and Impulse

Force is measured in [MLT-2], and impulse, which is force multiplied by time, has the dimension [MLT-1]. Therefore, these two do not have equal dimensions.

C. Angular Momentum and Planck's Constant

Angular momentum has the dimension of [ML2T-1], while Planck's constant is also expressed in [ML2T-1]. Hence, these two are equal in dimensions.

D. Elastic Modulus and Pressure

Both elastic modulus and pressure share the dimension of [ML-1T-2], indicating they are equal in dimensions as well.

Final Conclusion

The pair that does not have equal dimensions is B. Force and Impulse.
