Solution
The correct option is A 2 N Block A moves due to friction. Maximum acceleration of A can be fmaxmorμmgmorμg=0.2×10=2m/s2. If both the blocks move together, then combined acceleration of A and B can be 103of3.33m/s2. Since this is more than the maximum acceleration of A, slipping between them will take place and force of friction will be maximum or μmAg=2N.
