Two blocks of masses $2m$ and $m$ are placed on a smooth horizontal surface. $A$ force $F$ is applied on the $2m$ block towards the right,and the same force $F$ is applied on the $m$ block towards the left. What is the ratio of the contact forces between the two blocks in the two cases?

  • A
    $1 : 1$
  • B
    $1 : 2$
  • C
    $2 : 1$
  • D
    $1 : 4$
