Friction between block $A$ and block $B$ and between block $\mathrm{B}$ and surface will oppose the

$F$

$\therefore \mathrm{F}=\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{AB}}+\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{BS}}$

$=\mu_{\mathrm{AB}} \mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{g}+\mu_{\mathrm{BS}}\left(\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{A}}+\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{B}}\right) \mathrm{g}$

${=0.2 \times 100 \times 10+0.3(100+200) 10}$

${=200+900=1100 \mathrm{N}}$
