Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $5 \,kg$ and $3 \,kg$ respectively rest on a smooth horizontal surface with $B$ over $A$. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $0.5$. The maximum horizontal force (in $kg \,wt.$) that can be applied to $A$,so that there will be motion of $A$ and $B$ without relative slipping,is

  • A
    $1.5$
  • B
    $2.5$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
