Dear Souvik,
Acceleration of A and B along their contact surface must be same for them to remain in contact
=> a1 cos θ = a2 sin θ // constraint relation
From FBD of A you will get
N sin θ = M a1
From FBD of B you will get
Mg - N cos θ = M a2
Solving these you will get your answer
Please feel free to post as many doubts on our discussion forum as you can.we will get you the answer and detailed solution very quickly. All the best.Regards,
