Mass m1 moves on a slope making an angle  with the horizontal and is attached to
mass m2 by a string passing over a frictionless pulleys as shown. The coefficient of
friction between m1
and the sloping surface is .
The correct statement among the following is
1) If m m sin 2 1   , the body m1 will move up the plane
2) If   m m sin cos 2 1      , the body m1 will move up the plane
3) If   m m sin cos 2 1      , the body m1 will move up the plane
4) If   m m sin cos 2 1      , the body m1 will move up the plane
