Surface Tension = Force/Length.
Dimensional Formula of Force(F) = MLT-2.
Divide it by Length L.

So Dimensional Formula of Surface Tension = MT-2.

But F = MLT-2.

So Dimensional Formula of Surface Tension = FL-1.

I think here answer for this is "F/L or FL-1" because surface tension is force per unit length so according to this above all these options are wrong.

How it will multiply this side as L^-1? Please explain.
