Solution

The correct option is B The pulley X is fixed, while Y is movable.
A fixed pulley is one whose axle is fixed to a platform, and a movable pulley is one whose axle is floating or movable, and hence, is not attached to any platform. So, in the given picture, the pulley X is fixed, and the pulley Y is movable.
