An inclined plane has an inclination θ with horizontal. A body of mass m rests on it. If the coefficient of friction between the body is µ, then the minimum force that needs to be applied parallel to the inclined plane is

a
mgsin⁡θ
b
μmgcos⁡θ
c
μmgcos⁡θ+mgsin⁡θ
d
μmgcos⁡θ−mgsin⁡θ

detailed solution

Correct option is C

See fig.From figure, R=mgcos⁡θNow F=μR+mgsin⁡θor F=μmgcos⁡θ+mgsin⁡θ.
