$A$ body of mass $m$ is suspended by two strings making angles $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$ with the horizontal ceiling with tensions $T_1$ and $T_2$ respectively. If $T_1 = \sqrt{3} T_2$,then the angles $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$ are:

  • A
    $\theta_1 = 30^{\circ}, \theta_2 = 60^{\circ}$ with $T_2 = \frac{3mg}{4}$
  • B
    $\theta_1 = 60^{\circ}, \theta_2 = 30^{\circ}$ with $T_2 = \frac{mg}{2}$
  • C
    $\theta_1 = 45^{\circ}, \theta_2 = 45^{\circ}$ with $T_2 = \frac{3mg}{4}$
  • D
    $\theta_1 = 30^{\circ}, \theta_2 = 60^{\circ}$ with $T_2 = \frac{4mg}{5}$
