Detailed Solution

Let F be the force exerted by mass m on mass M.

FBD of mass M  

Question Image

 

 

 

F=k1x1=2×3=6N

FBD of mass m  

Question Image

 

 

k2x2=F=6N to the left 

 Hence the force exerted on block of mass m be the right spring (k2x2) is 6N to the left. From FBD, the normal reaction (F) between blocks is 6 N. As system is at rest, net force on block of mass m is zero.
