Two weights $2 \mathrm{~N}$ and $3 \mathrm{~N}$ are suspended from the ends of an inextensible string passing over a fixed frictionless pulley. If the pulley is pulled up with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity, then the tension in the string is

• A

  $2.4 \mathrm{~N}$
• B

  $5.0 \mathrm{~N}$
• Correct answer
  C

  $4.8 \mathrm{~N}$
• D

  $6.0 \mathrm{~N}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
