Physics Question from JEE Main 2023 · 24 January, Shift 1

A weightless pulley P is attached at the apex of a double inclined frictionless surface whose two faces make angles of 6060^\circ and 3030^\circ with the horizontal. A massless string passes over the pulley and connects a 4kg4 \, \text{kg} block resting on the 6060^\circ face to a 1kg1 \, \text{kg} block resting on the 3030^\circ face. The tension in the string will be (if g=10m/s2g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2):

  • A

    (43+1)N(4\sqrt{3} + 1) \, \text{N}

  • B

    4(3+1)N4(\sqrt{3} + 1) \, \text{N}

  • C

    4(31)N4(\sqrt{3} - 1) \, \text{N}

  • D

    (431)N(4\sqrt{3} - 1) \, \text{N}
