Solution

The correct option is B m2gm1+m2
Step 1:Draw FBD of both the blocks
Step 2:Find relation between acceleration of both blocks
Let a be acceleration of m1
Then acceleration of middle pulley
=(a+0)2=a2
Let acceleration of m2 be b
Then by pulley constraint motion
(0+b)2=a2
a=b
Step 3:Write force equation and find acceleration
For m1 mass
T=m1a…(i)
For m2 mass
m2g–T=m2a…(ii)
By adding above equation (i) and (ii)
a=m2gm1+m2
FINAL ANSWER: (a)
