A pen of mass $m$ is lying on a piece of paper of mass $M$ placed on a rough table. If the coefficients of friction between the pen and paper and the paper and the table are $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$, respectively. Then, the minimum horizontal force with which the paper has to be pulled for the pen to start slipping is given by
  • A$(m+M)\left(\mu_1+\mu_2\right) g$
  • B$\left(m \mu_1+M \mu_2\right) g$
  • C$\left(m \mu_1+(m+M) \mu_2\right) g$
  • D$m\left(\mu_1-\mu_2\right) g$
