Solution

The correct option is A 4vA+8vB+4vC+vD=0
Let the velocities of pulleys P1, P2, P3, and P4 be vP1, vP2, vP3 and vP4 respectively.
vp2=vC and vp4=vB. All velocities are assumed to be in downward direction.
(a) l1+l2+l3=constant
Differentiating w.r.t time, we get
vD+vp1+vp1=0
2vp1=vD ... (i)
(b) l4+l5+l6+l7=constant
Differentiating w.r.t time, we get
vp1+vC+vC+vp3+vp3=0
2vp3+2vC=vp1 ... (ii)
(c) l8+l9+l10=constant
Differentiating w.r.t time, we get
vp3+vB+vB+vA=0
2vB+vA=vp3 ... (iii)
From (i), (ii) and (iii)
4vB+2vA+2vC=vD2
4vA+8vB+4vC+vD=0
