In the situation shown in figure a wedge of mass m is placed on a rough surface, on which a block of equal mass is placed on the inclined plane of wedge.Friction coefficient between plane and the block and the ground and the wedge `(mu)`. An external force F is applied horizontally on the wedge. Given the m does not slide on incline due to its weight. The value of F at which wedge will start slipping is:

A

`=mumg`

B

`=((3)/(2))mumg`

C

`gt2mumg`

D

`ltmumg`
