Solution
The correct option is Ag√3 For no friction force there should be no relative motion between wedge and the block. So relative to the wedge, the component of the pseudo force along the slope acting on the block must balance the component of gravitational force along the slope. Pseudo Force is ma, where a is the acceleration of wedge. ∴macosθ−mgsinθ=0⇒a=gtan300=g√3
