A cubical block of mass 'm' rests on rough horizontal surface. `mu` is coefficient of static friction between block and the surface. A force "mg" acting on cube at an angle " `theta`" with vertical side of cube pulls the block. If the block is to be pulled along the surface then the value of `cot (theta//2)` is

A

less than `mu`

B

greater than `mu`

C

equal to `mu`

D

not dependent on `mu`
