Consider a body of mass $3\,kg$ at rest on a smooth horizontal table. This body is connected by a light string,which passes over a smooth pulley at the edge of the table,to another body of mass $2\,kg$ hanging freely. This $2\,kg$ mass is released from rest. Now consider the following statements:
$(A)$ The masses remain at rest.
$(B)$ The $3\,kg$ mass moves uniformly while the $2\,kg$ mass moves with acceleration $\frac{2}{5}g\,m/s^2$.
$(C)$ Both bodies move with acceleration $\frac{2}{5}g\,m/s^2$.
$(D)$ The tension in the string near the first body is more than that near the second body.
$(E)$ The tension in the string is $\frac{6g}{5}\,N$.
Then the correct statements are:

  • A
    $B$ and $D$ only
  • B
    $C$ and $E$ only
  • C
    $B, D$ and $E$ only
  • D
    $A$ only
