Two identical horizontal forces act separately on two frictionless blocks of masses

2\,\text{kg}

and

4\,\text{kg}

. Which of the following correctly compares their accelerations? (a) Acceleration of the

2\,\text{kg}

block is four times that of the

4\,\text{kg}

block. (b) Acceleration of the

2\,\text{kg}

block is twice that of the

4\,\text{kg}

block. (c) Both blocks have the same acceleration. (d) Acceleration of the

2\,\text{kg}

block is half that of the

4\,\text{kg}

block.
