A body of weight W is required to move up on rough inclined plane whose angle of inclination with the horizontal is α. The effort applied parallel to the plane is given by(where μ = tanφ = Coefficient of friction between the plane and the body.)
P = W tanα
P = W tan(α + φ)
P = W (sinα + μcosα)
P = W (cosα + μsinα)

From free body diagram
p = f + wsina {a=alpha}
= un + wsina
= uwcosa + wsina
= w(ucosa + sina)

So, the answer is c.

Force due to gravity parallel to inclined is w(sina) force due to friction is u(w cosa).

What is free body diagram? Please explain.

Anyone provide me, its free body diagram.

From free body diagram:

ΓH = 0;

p = wcosa+MR.

Γv = 0;

R = wsina.

p = wcosa+Mwsina.

p = w(cosa+Msina).

Effort applied = P (acting to the right).
Frictional force = uWcosa(acting against P).
Gravitational force = Wsina(acting downwards).

So equation will be in equilibrium as:
P = Wsina + uWcosa.
P = W(sina+ ucosa).

From free body diagram,

p = u*R+w*sina.
p = u*(w*cosa)+wsina.
p = w(ucosa+sina).
