(B) Let the acceleration of the system be $a$. The system moves such that $m_3$ moves downwards and $m_1$ moves upwards.For mass $m_3$: $m_3g - T_2 = m_3a \implies 60 - T_2 = 6a$  ---$(1)$For the system $(m_1 + m_2)$: $T_2 - (m_1 + m_2)g = (m_1 + m_2)a \implies T_2 - 80 = 8a$  ---$(2)$Adding $(1)$ and $(2)$: $60 - 80 = 14a \implies -20 = 14a \implies a = -20/14 = -10/7 	ext{ m/s}^2$.The negative sign indicates that the system moves in the opposite direction (i.e.,$m_1$ moves down and $m_3$ moves up).Using $a = 10/7 	ext{ m/s}^2$ (magnitude),$m_3$ moves up: $T_2 - m_3g = m_3a \implies T_2 = m_3(g + a) = 6(10 + 10/7) = 6(80/7) = 480/7 	ext{ N}$.For the whole system hanging from $T_1$: $2T_1 = (m_1 + m_2 + m_3)g + (m_1 + m_2 + m_3)a_{	ext{cm}}$ is not required here. The tension $T_1$ supports the entire system: $2T_1 = (m_1 + m_2 + m_3)g + 	ext{net force}$.Actually,$T_1$ is the tension in the string passing over the pulley. Since the pulley is fixed and frictionless,$T_1$ balances the weights. The total downward force is $(m_1 + m_2 + m_3)g = 140 	ext{ N}$. Thus,$2T_1 = 140 \implies T_1 = 70 	ext{ N}$.Ratio $T_1/T_2 = 70 / (480/7) = 490 / 480 = 49/48 \approx 1$. Given the options,let's re-evaluate the setup: $T_1$ is the tension in the string connected to $m_1$ and the $(m_2+m_3)$ system. $T_1 = m_1(g+a) = 4(10 + 10/7) = 4(80/7) = 320/7 	ext{ N}$.Ratio $T_1/T_2 = (320/7) / (480/7) = 320/480 = 2/3$.

Three masses $m_1 = 4 \text{ kg}$,$m_2 = 4 \text{ kg}$,and $m_3 = 6 \text{ kg}$ are suspended from a fixed smooth frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. The value of $T_1/T_2$ is . . . . . . . (Take $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)
