Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of equal mass are initially in contact when released from rest on an inclined plane. The coefficients of friction between the inclined plane and blocks $A$ and $B$ are $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$ respectively.

  • A
    If $\mu_1 > \mu_2$,the blocks will always remain in contact.
  • B
    If $\mu_1 < \mu_2$,the blocks will slide down with different accelerations (if the blocks slide).
  • C
    If $\mu_1 > \mu_2$,the blocks will have a common acceleration $\frac{1}{2} (\mu_1 + \mu_2) g \sin \theta$.
  • D
    Both $(A)$ and $(B)$.
