$A$ block of mass $m$ lying on a rough horizontal plane is acted upon by a horizontal force $P$ and another force $Q$ inclined at an angle $\theta$ to the vertical. The block will remain in equilibrium,if the coefficient of friction between it and the surface is

  • A
    $\frac{P + Q\sin\theta}{mg + Q\cos\theta}$
  • B
    $\frac{P\cos\theta + Q}{mg - Q\sin\theta}$
  • C
    $\frac{P + Q\cos\theta}{mg + Q\sin\theta}$
  • D
    $\frac{P\sin\theta - Q}{mg - Q\cos\theta}$
