Two blocks $A$ and $B$, each of mass $20 \,kg$, lying on a frictionless table, are connected by a light string. The system is pulled horizontally with an acceleration of $2 \,ms^{-2}$ by a force $F$ applied on block $B$. The tension in the string will be: (in $\,N$)

  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $40$
  • C
    $100$
  • D
    $120$
