Four blocks $A, B, C$ and $D$ of masses $6 \,kg, 3 \,kg, 6 \,kg$ and $1 \,kg$ respectively are connected by light strings passing over frictionless pulleys as shown in the figure. The strings $P$ and $Q$ are horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the horizontal surface and the block $B$ is $0.2$ and the blocks $A$ and $B$ move together. If the system is released from rest, then the tension in the string $Q$ is (Acceleration due to gravity, $g=10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,N$)

$Assertion$: On a rainy day,it is difficult to drive a car or bus at high speed.
$Reason$: The value of the coefficient of friction is lowered due to the wetting of the surface.

$A$ block is placed on a rough horizontal plane. $A$ time-dependent horizontal force $F = Kt$ acts on the block,where $K$ is a positive constant. The acceleration-time graph of the block is:
