The correct answer is:
The free body diagrams are :
is force of friction between blocks
is force of friction between block and ground
Making FBD of pulley
Since pulley is light
Let blocks move together with common acceleration a
then for upper block
but should be less than
So, our assumption of no relative motion b/w blocks is incorrect that means there is relative motion
is kinetic
acceleration of pulley = accelerated of hand
