A block of mass M is placed on a rough horizontal surface. A force F = M g acts on the block. It is inclined to the vertical at an angle θ. The coefficient of friction is µ. The block can be pushed along the surface only when

a
tan⁡θ≥μ
b
cot⁡θ≥μ
c
tan⁡θ/2≥μ
d
cot⁡θ/2≥μ

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Here Mgsin⁡θ≥μ(Mg+mgcos⁡θ)∴ tan⁡θ/2≥μ.
