Detailed Solution

There is no friction between the body B and surface of the table.

If the body B is pulled with force F, then

F=(mA+mB)a

Due to this force upper body A will feel the pseudo force in a backward direction.
     Question Image                                          
f=mA×a       

But due to friction between A and B , body will not slip . The body A will start slipping when pseudo force is more than friction force. 

i.e for slipping,  mAa=μmAg

  a=μg
