SG is the only one that doesn't have dimension in the above options.

Bhumesh said:   7 years ago
Specific gravity and Fanning friction factor are dimensionless numbers.

Yogesh said:   8 years ago
All three options are dimensionless.

Specific Gravity is density of substance with respect to a reference substance (generally H20). So the answer is correct.

Specific gravity is also dimensionless.

Answer is is SG = Given density/Reference density,

Example petrol at 15.56*C 755 kg/m3.

So that : (755 kg/m2)/(water = 996.8 kg/m2).

= 0.7574.

I think the answer is B because specific gravity is the inverse of density has units unlike fanning frictional factor and Euler's number.
