Solution

The correct option is A 4.5 m/s2 down the plane
The given system can be framed as shown

FBDs of the pulleys and the blocks are as shown. Let T be the tension in the string connected to pulley P7.

Let a be the acceleration of block m.

For P7:802T=ma7T=40 N as m=0
For the block: The acceleration of the block a is given as
10gsin30°408=10a
10×10×125=10a
a=4.5 m/s2 down the plane
