In the following arrangement the system is initially at rest. The 5 kg block is now released. Assuming the pulleys and string to be massless and smooth, the acceleration of block C will be

a
zero
b
2.5m/s2
c
107m/s2
d
57m/s2

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Block B will not move.5g−T=5a    .....(1)2T−8g=8a2   .....(2)Solving eqns. (1) and (2), we get 2g=14a or a=g7∴ a2=g14=1014=57m/s2
