$A$ light string passing over a smooth light pulley connects two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ (where $m_2 > m_1$). If the acceleration of the system is $\frac{g}{\sqrt{2}}$,then the ratio of the masses $\frac{m_1}{m_2}$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{\sqrt{2}+1}$
  • B
    $\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}-1}$
  • C
    $\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{2}-1}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}-1}$

$A$ frictionless pulley is attached to one arm of a balance and a string passed around it carries two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. The pulley is provided with a clamp due to which $m_1$ and $m_2$ do not move with respect to each other. On removing the clamp,if the counter mass restores balance,then the acceleration of the centre of mass of the masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ will have a magnitude of?
