Question

In the arrangement shown in figure, find the ratio of tensions in the strings attached with $4kg$ block and that with $1kg$ block.

• A. $4$
• B. $3$
• C. $2$
• D. $1$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $4$

As masses of the both side of the pulley are equal so they will not move. Thus, the tension in the strings will be the weight of the blocks.

Thus, $T_4=4g$ and $T_1=1g$

so, $T_4/T_1=4$
