1. **State the problem:** We have the equation $$V = P^{1/2} + \frac{1}{n} \times \frac{1}{x}$$ where $V$ is volume, $P$ is pressure, and we need to find the dimensions of $n$ and $x$.
2. **Recall dimensions:**
- Volume $V$ has dimensions $[L^3]$.
- Pressure $P$ has dimensions $[M L^{-1} T^{-2}]$.
3. **Analyze the first term:**
$$P^{1/2}$$
Dimensions of $P^{1/2}$ are $$[M L^{-1} T^{-2}]^{1/2} = [M^{1/2} L^{-1/2} T^{-1}]$$
4. **Since $V$ has dimension $[L^3]$, the sum $P^{1/2} + \frac{1}{n} \times \frac{1}{x}$ implies both terms must have the same dimensions.**
5. **Set dimensions of second term equal to $[L^3]$:**
$$\frac{1}{n} \times \frac{1}{x} = [L^3]$$
6. **Rewrite:**
$$\frac{1}{n x} = [L^3] \implies n x = [L^{-3}]$$
7. **Assume $n$ and $x$ have dimensions $[N]$ and $[X]$ respectively, so:**
$$[N][X] = [L^{-3}]$$
8. **Since $n$ and $x$ are unknown, we need another relation. From the sum, the first term $P^{1/2}$ has dimension $[M^{1/2} L^{-1/2} T^{-1}]$ and the second term $\frac{1}{n x}$ has dimension $[L^3]$. They cannot be added unless they have the same dimension.**
9. **Therefore, the problem implies $V$ is dimensionally consistent only if the terms have the same dimension. So, the problem likely means the terms are added with coefficients or the expression is symbolic.**
10. **If we consider the terms separately, the dimensions of $n$ and $x$ satisfy:**
$$n x = [L^{-3}]$$
**Hence, the product of the dimensions of $n$ and $x$ is $[L^{-3}]$. Without additional information, the individual dimensions cannot be uniquely determined.**
