Solution

The correct option is B 72 N
The FBDs of the system can be shown as:

The 4 kg block will try to move towards right, so the frictional force f will act on it towards left.

Thus, from the figure shown, we can write the equation of force as
(a) T=8g
(b) T=F+f=F+μ(4g)
From the above two equations we get
8g=F+0.2×4×10
F=808=72 N
