Force acting on B = F
Let Fext be the force exerted by the person
Therefore the acceleration of the system Fext=( Ma+Mb)A     -------------1
Acceleration is common for both the blocks.
Now, the force on B by A = F= Mb * A
A=F/Mb --------- 2 
Sub 2 in 1 
Fext =(Ma+Mb)F / Mb

let the force exerted by the person is Fp 
now the acceleration of the system is
a=Fp/Ma+Mb -------------1
now let the force applied by block A on block B is F
therefore F=Mb×a
a=F/Mb--------------2
since, the acceleration of the whole system is same then by eqauting equation 1 and 2 we get
F/Mb=Fp/Ma+Mb
Fp=(Ma+Mb)×F/Mb
it is also return as 
Fp=( Ma/Mb+1)×F
