Two blocks of masses $1\,kg$ and $5\,kg$ are attached to the ends of a massless string passing over a pulley of negligible weight. The pulley itself is attached to a spring balance as shown in the figure. The blocks start moving; during this interval,the reading of the spring balance will be:

  • A
    More than $6\,kg$
  • B
    Less than $6\,kg$
  • C
    Equal to $6\,kg$
  • D
    None of the above
