P is pressure in N/m2 dimensional formula is : ML-1T-2

n is dimension less

dimesnion of temperature represented by the Greek letter theta is q

a/RTV shld be dimension less whihc means a has dimesnions same as RTV

dimesnion of a is :ML5T-2

b has dimensions same as volume i.e, m3 or L3

so, dimesnion of a is :ML5T-2

   dimesnion of b is : L3
