Solution

The correct option is B 0.4g
a=acting forceopposing forceMass of system=0.4 g m/s2
Here system is both blocks of mass 1 kg and opposing force is friction force act on block lying on rough surface and acting force is weight of hanging block.
Hence, a=mgμmg2m=0.4g m/s2
The correct option is (b)
