Solution

The correct option is C 0.2

Since the whole system is having acceleration 4 m/s2, individual body will also have an acceleration 4 m/s2.
FBD of block of mass 3 kg,


T1f1=ma
T1μmg=maT1=(3×4)+(13×3×10)
T1=22 N(1)
FBD of block of mass 15 kg,


220T2f2=ma
T2=220μmgmaT2=220(13×15×10)(15×4)
T2=110 N(2)
From (1) and (2),
T1T2=22110=0.2
