If force $F$ is increasing with time and at $t = 0, F = 0$,where will slipping first start?

Block $A$ of mass $30\, kg$ is resting on a frictionless floor. Another block $B$ of mass $5\, kg$ is resting on it as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks is $0.4$ while kinetic friction is $0.3$. If a horizontal force of $175\, N$ is applied to block $B$,then the acceleration of block $A$ will be ........ $m/s^2$ $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$.

As shown in the figure, block $m$ and wedge $M$ move together with a horizontal acceleration of $20\, m/s^2$. Given $m = 1\, kg$, $\mu = 0.6$ (between $m$ and $M$) and $g = 10\, m/s^2$. Choose the $\text{CORRECT}$ alternative:
