Dear Monali
 
Frictional force between a and B is F1 = 0.3 * 30 * 10 = 90 N
                                       B and C is F2 = 0.2 * 40 * 10 = 80N
 
Any frictional force between ground is = 0.1 * 60 * 10 = 60 N
 
So if you apply 60 N force then whole block will starts moving with respectto ground. Hence correct answer isSo if you apply 60 N force then whole block will starts moving with respectto ground. Hence correct answer isSo if you apply 60 N force then whole block will starts moving with respectto ground. Hence correct answer isSo if you apply 60 N force block willstarts moving with respect to ground
