The correct answer is: 43+1 N

The magnitude of acceleration of both the blocks will be same and is given by

a=4 g sin 60-g sin 304+1

=203-55

a=43-1 m s-1

Applying Newton's second law for second block (along the direction parallel to the incline on which it is placed)

T-5=1×a

T=5+43-1

=43+1 N
