Detailed Solution

Ram and Shyam are pushing a wooden table in the opposite direction. If the table moves towards Ram, the magnitude of force applied by Shyam is greater than that of Ram.
As Ram and Shyam apply force in the opposite direction, the net force of these two forces would be the difference between two forces. The table will move in the direction of the larger force. Since, the table moves towards Ram which implies that the larger force is applied by Shyam.
