Detailed Solution

Initially system, is in equilibrium with a total weight of 4mg over spring
When string is cut at the location as shown
So, force on mass, B = mg
 Acceleration of mass, B = g
For mass A ; free body diagram is 
If a = acceleration of block of mass A, then
Fnet=4 mg3 mg
  3 m . aA=mg or aA=g3
So, accelerations for blocks A and B are
aA=g3 and aB=g
