Tension is directly proportional to the mass of the body. If there is a certain amount of reduction in mass of the bodies then Tension (T) will also be reduced by the same amount. So it will be half.

Here, F or T is directly proportional to mass M, when M is reduced 50 % then Force tension is also reduced 50 % means half.

2T= (m'g+m"g).
Now 50% reduced from both:
2T* = .5(m'g+m"g) = .5X2T.
T* = .5T.
Now 50% reduced from both:
2T* = .5(m'g+m"g) = .5X2T.
T* = .5T.

Since T= 2(m1*m2/m1+m2) g.
If we put the value of mass half.
So, the answer is [A].
If we put the value of mass half.
So, the answer is [A].
