Question

A light spring balance hangs from the hook of the other light spring balance and a block of mass M kg hangs from the former one. Then the true statement about the scale reading is, Both the scales read M /2 kg each, Both the scales read M kg each, The scale of the lower one reads M kg and of the upper one zero, The reading of the two scales can be anything but the sum of the reading will be M kg

As the spring balance are massless therefore both the scales read M kg each.
