Solution

The correct option is B $a_{1} = 2 a_{2}$
Let the accelerations of 4 kg and 8 kg blocks be downwards and rightwards respectively,

By length constraint,
$2 x + z + y = l$

Differtiating twice
$2 \frac{d^{2} x}{d t^{2}} + \frac{d^{2} y}{d t^{2}} = 0$
$⟹ - 2 a_{2} + a_{1} = 0$
$⟹ 2 a_{2} = a_{1}$
