both string will have same tension..

so both will break at the same time if both are of the same material.

on the block....

Lower tension - upper tension= ma

now since,,,,, acceleration is zero(as we slowly pull the string down),, both the tensions are same, so both the strings break when they the force approaches their breaking point... Smile
