Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Smooth plane has negligible friction
∴ only the resultant of the perpendicular forces is acting on the body, which is given as
F = \(\sqrt{ 6^2 + 8^2}\)
 

= \(\sqrt{64 + 36}\)


= \(\sqrt{100}\)

= 10N
But F = Ma
∴ a = F/M = 10/4 = 2.5 ms-1

There is an explanation video available below.
