Three solids of masses $m_1, m_2$ and $m_3$ are connected with weightless strings in succession and are placed on a frictionless table. If the mass $m_3$ is dragged with a force $T$,the tension in the string between $m_2$ and $m_3$ is

  • A
    $\frac{m_2}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3} T$
  • B
    $\frac{m_3}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3} T$
  • C
    $\frac{m_1 + m_2}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3} T$
  • D
    $\frac{m_2 + m_3}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3} T$
