Correct answer: C

  1. Given data

    • Mass of monkey: m=50 kgm = 50\,\text{kg}m=50kg
    • Maximum tension rope can withstand: Tmax⁡=350 NT_{\max} = 350\,\text{N}Tmax​=350N
    • Acceleration while moving downward: a1=4 m/s2a_1 = 4\,\text{m/s}^2a1​=4m/s2
    • Acceleration while moving upward: a2=5 m/s2a_2 = 5\,\text{m/s}^2a2​=5m/s2
    • Acceleration due to gravity: g=10 m/s2g = 10\,\text{m/s}^2g=10m/s2
  2. Tension while climbing downward

    When the monkey accelerates downward with acceleration 4 m/s24\,\text{m/s}^24m/s2, forces on monkey are:

    • Weight downward: mgmgmg
    • Tension upward: TTT

    Taking downward as positive: mg−T=mamg - T = mamg−T=ma

    50⋅10−T=50⋅450 \cdot 10 - T = 50 \cdot 450⋅10−T=50⋅4

    500−T=200500 - T = 200500−T=200

    T=300 NT = 300\,\text{N}T=300N

    Since 300<350300 < 350300<350, the rope will not break while going downward.

    So:

    • Option B: T=350 NT=350\,\text{N}T=350N while going downward ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ False
    • Option D: Rope will break while going downward ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ False
  3. Tension while climbing upward

    When the monkey accelerates upward with acceleration 5 m/s25\,\text{m/s}^25m/s2, taking upward as positive: T−mg=maT - mg = maT−mg=ma

    T−500=50⋅5T - 500 = 50 \cdot 5T−500=50⋅5

    T−500=250T - 500 = 250T−500=250

    T=750 NT = 750\,\text{N}T=750N

    Since 750>350750 > 350750>350, the rope will break while climbing upward.

    So:

    • Option A: T=700 NT=700\,\text{N}T=700N while climbing upward ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ False
    • Option C: Rope will break while climbing upward ⇒\Rightarrow⇒ True
  4. Final answer The correct option is: C\boxed{\text{C}}C​

  5. Comparison with stored answer Stored correct answer: C

    My derived answer matches the stored answer.
