In the arrangement shown in figure, pulley A and B are massless and the thread is inextensible. Mass of pulley C is equal to m. If friction in all the pulleys is negligible then,
(a) Tension in thread is 1/2 mg.
(b) Acceleration in pulley C is equal to g/2 downward.
(c) Acceleration of pulley A is equal to g/2 upward.
(d) Acceleration of pulley A is equal to 2g downward.
The correct answer is D!
Thanks in advance.

think about block A
as there no mass t=0
therefore the accleration of blockA is g upwards
and accleration of C is g downwards
