Two blocks of equal masses are tied to the ends of a light string. The string passes over a mass less pulley fixed on frictionless surface as shown in the figure. The acceleration of the centre of mass of the blocks is ( 
- acceleration due to gravity)

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Since, 
. So, block will go left side.
Adding equation (i) and (ii), we have
The acceleration of the centre of mass of the block is
