Solution

The correct option is D g10
Let θ1,θ2 be the angles of inclination of the blocks on the left and right side of the figure respectively.
Hence, θ1=tan143=53
θ2=tan134=37
Let the acceleration of the blocks be towards left along the inclined planes.

From the FBD of the two blocks,
ma=mgsinθ1T and ma=Tmgsinθ2
a=g10
