A chain has mass m and contains n identical links, where n is an odd integer. The chain is hanging vertically from the roof. If g is the acceleration due to gravity, the force exerted by the middle link on the one that is below it is 

a
(n+1)mg2n
b
(n-1)mgn
c
(n+1)mgn
d
(n-1)mg2n

detailed solution

Correct option is D

.  (n+1)2 will be the middle one (n-12) will be below the middle weight of each link is mgn weight of n-12 link will be the force given by the middle one next to it and will get the same reaction force
