The pulleys and strings shown in fig. are 

smooth and of negligible mass. For the system to remain in equilibrium, the angle θ should be

a
zero
b
30°
c
45°
d
60°

detailed solution

Correct option is C

The tension in the string T = mgFor equilibrium of mass2T cos⁡θ=2mg or 2mg cos⁡θ=2mg∴cos⁡θ=1/2 or θ=45∘.
