Solution

The correct option is B

Force can be described as a push or pull.

A pull directs the motion of an object towards us while a push tends to drive the object away. On this block (in option b), both push and pull are applied in the same direction, i.e., east direction and hence this block moves to the east direction.

In options (c) and (d) block will move to the west direction.

In option (a) block will remain at its position.

Two blocks are in contact on a frictionless table one has a mass m and the other 2 m as shown in figure. Force F is applied on mass 2m then system moves towards right. Now the same force F is applied on m. The ratio of force of contact between the two blocks will be in the two cases respectively.

In the above figure, the arrows indicate the direction of forces $F_{1}$ and $F_{2}$ and the magnitudes of the respective force are given above the arrows.
