    A)                              24.5 N          

    B)                         2.45 N          

    C)                         79 N          

    D)                         73.5 N          

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                              \[T=\frac{2{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}}g=\frac{2\times 10\times 6}{10+6}\times 9.8=73.5N\]
