A boy and a block, both of same mass, are suspended at the same horizontal level, from each end of a light string that moves over a frictionless pulley as shown. The boy start moving upward with an acceleration `2.5m//s^(2)` relative the rope. If the block is to travel a total distance 10m before reaching at the pulley, the time taken by the block in doing so is equal to:

A

`sqrt8s`

B

4s

C

`10/sqrt8s`

D

8s

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Acceleration of boy and block will be same equal to `1.25m//s^(2)` w.r.t. ground.
