If the coefficient of friction between the horizontal surface and wheels of trolley is `mu`, then acceleration of the block m and that of trolley M on releasing the system is :-

A

`((muM-m)/(m+muM))g`

B

`((m+muM)/(muM-m))g`

C

`((mum-M)/(m+M))g`

D

`((m-muM)/(m+M))g`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
