As shown below, a pulley and block system on a smooth double inclined plane

Question Image

Equation of force for both blocks,

mgcos30oT=ma_____(1)  

Tmgcos60o=ma _____(2)

from the equations,

a=3-14g

aCM=|ma1+ma2m+m|

aCM=3-14gi^+3-14gj^2

aCM=g23-142+3-142

aCM=g2×2×3-14=3-142g

Hence the correct answer is 3-142g.
