A block of mass \(m\) is placed atop another block of mass \(M,\) and the combination is at rest on a smooth horizontal table. A force \(F_1\) is applied to \(m\) and another force \(F_2\) is applied to \(M,\) the two acting horizontally and in opposite directions. Consider the following statements about the acceleration \((a_{cm})\) of the centre of mass of the system).
(Take right as positive)
                        
A. \(a_{cm}=\frac{F_1-F_2}{m+M},\) if there is no friction acting between \(m\) and \(M\)
B. \(a_{cm}=\frac{F_1-F_2}{m+M},\) if there is static friction between \(m\) and \(M\)
C. \(a_{cm}=\frac{F_1-F_2}{m+M},\) in all situations
 
Choose the most appropriate option:
 
1. only (A) is true.
2. only (B) is true.
3. (C) is true.
