@Aldrin.
According to the formula when you double up the masses, tension will be doubled but acceleration will be same.
a=(m1-m2)g/(m1+m2).
When we double up the masses.
Then a will be (2m1-2m2).g/(2m1+2m2).
When we will take common 2 then.
2(m1-m2).g/2(m1+m2).
Cancel 2 with 2.
Then the answer will be same.
I think this is the right answer.
