Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are placed on a smooth horizontal surface and are connected by a string of negligible mass. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied on the mass $m_2$ as shown in the figure. The tension in the string is

  • A
    $\left(\frac{m_1}{m_1+m_2}\right) F$
  • B
    $\frac{m_2 F}{m_1+m_2}$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{m_1}{m_2}\right) F$
  • D
    $\frac{m_2 F}{m_1}$
