Solution

The correct option is B g3
Assuming the accelerations as shown,
T - Mg sinθ=M (2a)
T=2Ma + Mg sinθ ......(1)
2Mg-2T=2Ma......(2)
On multiplying by 2 on both sides in equation (1)
2T=4Ma + 2Mg sinθ......(3)
On adding equation (2) and (3)
2Mg=6Ma + 2Mg sinθ
(Given θ=30)
6Ma+2Mg sin 302Mg=0
6Ma = Mga=g6.
Acceleration of mass M is 2a=2×g6=g3 up the plane.
