A block of mass $M$ is pulled along a horizontal frictionless surface by a rope of mass $m$. If a force $P$ is applied at the free end of the rope, the force exerted by the rope on  the block is- 

  • A

    $\frac{{Pm}}{{M + m}}$

  • B

    $\frac{{Pm}}{{M - m}}$

  • C

    $P$

  • D

    $\frac{{PM}}{{M + m}}$
