Detailed Solution

In the figure given, two boys, A and B, are applying force on a block. If the block moves towards the right, the magnitude of force applied by A is greater than that of B.
When two forces act on the object in the opposite direction, if the object is at rest, it means two equal forces were applied. If the object moves, it means that two unequal forces are applied. In this case, the block moves towards the right, which means that the magnitude of force applied by A is greater than that of B as the force applied by B is suppressed by force applied by A.
