These questions consists of two statements each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these question you are required to choose any one of the following four responses Assertion In the system of two blocks of equla masses as shown, the coefficient of friction between the blocks (mu_(2)) is less than coefficient of friction (mu_(1)) between lower block and ground. For all values of force F applied on upper block, lower block remains at rest. Reason Frictional force on lower block due to upper block is not sufficient to overcome the frictional force on lower block due to ground.
