Two identical blocks are attached by a massless string running over a pulley as shown in figure. The rope initially runs over the pulley at its (the rope's) midpoint, and the surface that block 1 rests on is frictionless. Blocks 1 and 2 are initially at rest when block 2 is released with the string taut and horizontal. Assume that the initial distance from block 1 to the pulley is the same as the initial distance from block 2 to the wall.

Options

A. Block 1 hits the pulley before Block 2 hits the way
B. Block 2 hits the wally before block 1 hits the pulley
C. block 1 hits pulley simultaneously with block 2 hitting the wall
D. which block hits the obstruction first depends on the actual mass of the blocks and its length of the sring

Answer

A

Explanation

The horizontal acceleration of Block 1 is always greater than that of block 2.
