Two bodies of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a light string which passes over a frictionless,massless pulley. If the pulley is moving upward with uniform acceleration $\frac{g}{2}$,then the tension in the string will be .........

  • A
    $\frac{3 m_1 m_2}{m_1+m_2} g$
  • B
    $\frac{m_1+m_2}{4 m_1 m_2} g$
  • C
    $\frac{2 m_1 m_2}{m_1+m_2} g$
  • D
    $\frac{m_1 m_2}{m_1+m_2} g$
