3. According to the Buckingham π–Theorem, the number of independent dimensionless groups, formed by combining the physical variables of a problem, is equal to

a. [total number of physical quantities (n)] – [the number of primary dimensions (m) needed to express the dimensional formulae of n physical quantities]
b. [the number of primary dimensions (m) needed to express the dimensional formulae of n physical quantities] – [total number of physical quantities (n)]
c. [the number of primary dimensions (m) needed to express the dimensional formulae of n physical quantities] + [total number of physical quantities (n)]
d. [the number of primary dimensions (m) needed to express the dimensional formulae of n physical quantities] x [total number of physical quantities (n)]
