@SAYYAD.
Take m1=3.2, m2 = 6.6.
Then the answer will be 1m/sec2.
Take m1=3.2, m2 = 6.6.
Then the answer will be 1m/sec2.

We need to use D'Alembert's principle for 2blocks.
Assumimg a as acceleration for hanging block we can write Eqn 1 as 3.2g-T=3.2a.
And Eqn 2 as T-(1/3. 6.6g) = 6.6a.
Solving both we get a = 1m/s2.

a=g(m1- μm2)/(m1+m2)
So, m1= 6.6kg.
m2=3.2 kg.
g= 9.81 m/sec^2.
μ = 1/3.
So, by putting these values in the above equation I will get;
a= 5.53 m/sec^2.
Then how you have find this value of
a= 1m/sec^2? Please anyone explain me.

a=g(m1-m2μ)/(m1+m2).
Where μ is coefficient of friction,
m1=3.2kg.
m2=6.6kg.
μ=1/3.
And will come 1m/sec^2.
