figure shows a smooth cart on a smooth surface (with small wheels) with an atwood machine on it. An external force P acts on cart. Following statements are based on given situation. The system starts from rest.

Statement-1: The magnitudes of velocities of blocks `m_(1)` and `m_(2)` with respect pulley are same.
Statement-2: If the string connecting the two blocks is to remain taut, relative to the centre of the pulley, velocities of blocks must be equal and opposite.

Options

A. Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true and statement-2 is correct explanation for statement-1.
B. Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true and statement-2 is NOT the correct explanation for statement-1.
C. Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is false.
D. Statement -1 is false, statement -2 is true.

Answer

B

Explanation

String gets slack therefore velocity of each block is zero.
