$A$ block of mass $M$ is being pulled along a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is $\mu$. If another block of mass $M/2$ is placed on the block and it is again pulled on the surface,the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface will be

  • A
    $\mu$
  • B
    $3\mu / 2$
  • C
    $2\mu$
  • D
    $5\mu / 2$
