Solution

The correct option is D 0.75
The minimum value of coefficient of friction between the block and surface will be given at the limiting friction condition.

Let the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface be μs
So, from the FBDs of the blocks we get
T=3g
T=f=μsN
and, N=4g
from the above equations we have
3g=μs(4g)
μs=34=0.75
