Figure, represents a light inextensible string ABCDE in which `AB=BC=CD=DE` and to which are attached masses M,m, and M at the point B,C and D, respectively. The system hangs freely in equilibrium with ends A and E of the string fixed in the same horizontal line. it is given that `tan alpha=3//4` and `tan beta=12//5`. Then the tension in the string BC is
