Two masses $2 \, kg$ and $3 \, kg$ are attached to the ends of a string passed over a pulley fixed at the top. The tension and acceleration are:

  • A
    $\frac{7g}{8}; \frac{g}{8}$
  • B
    $\frac{21g}{8}; \frac{g}{8}$
  • C
    $\frac{21g}{8}; \frac{g}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{12g}{5}; \frac{g}{5}$
