$A$ mass '$M$' is suspended by a rope from a rigid support at point '$P$' as shown in the figure. Another rope is tied at end '$Q$' and pulled horizontally with a force '$F$'. If the rope makes an angle '$\theta$' with the vertical,then the tension in the string '$PQ$' is

  • A
    $F \sin \theta$
  • B
    $\frac{F}{\sin \theta}$
  • C
    $F \cos \theta$
  • D
    $\frac{F}{\cos \theta}$
