a

Length of the spring increases continuously ifm1>m2

b

Block start performing SHM about centre of mass of the system, which moves rectilinearly with constant acceleration

c

Block start performing oscillations about centre of mass of the system with increasing amplitude

d

Acceleration of m2 is maximum at initial moment of time only

Detailed Solution

Only external horizontal force acting on the system of two blocks and spring is F.

a=Fm1+m2

acm=Fm1+m2

Initially there is no tension in the spring so initial acceleration of m2isFm2 , due to this tension developed in the spring so that acceleration of m2 decreases andm1  increases from zero initial value the blocks starts to perform SHM about their COM
