In the arrangement shown in the figure, mass of the block $B$ and $A$ is $2m$ and $m$ respectively. Surface between $B$ and floor is smooth. The block $B$ is connected to the block $C$ by means of a string pulley system. If the whole system is released, then find the minimum value of mass of block $C$ so that block $A$ remains stationary $w.r.t. B$. Coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $\mu$ 
  • A$\frac{m}{\mu }$
  • B$\frac{{2m + 1}}{{\mu  + 1}}$
  • C$\frac{{3m}}{{\mu  - 1}}$
  • D$\frac{{6m}}{{\mu  + 1}}$
