Solution

The correct option is D 4 g
The given arrangement is shown in the below figure.
Consider 2 kg and 3 kg masses as a system and let the acceleration of the entire system is given by a.

From the FBD of 10 kg mass and combined mass of 2 kg and 3 kg, we get
10gT=10aT5g=5a5g=15aa=g3 m/s2
From the FBD of 3 Kg mass we have


From the FBD of 3 kg mass,
T13g=3a T1=3(g+a)=3(g+g3)
Thus, T1=4g N
