The correct answer is:
The minimum coefficient of friction between the block and the prism is \( \mu_{\min }=\tan \theta \).
As the small block does not slip over the prism,
We can consider the mass of small block into prism.
Where, is normal reaction
and here is the only force in the line of inclination acting downwards
will be its acceleration
option 1 and 2 are wrong
Now FBD of block with respect to prism
Where,
is the pseudo force
is force of friction
is normal reaction
Now writing equations of forces
and
