$A$ block of mass $2M$ is attached to a massless spring with spring-constant $k$. This block is connected to two other blocks of masses $M$ and $2M$ using two massless pulleys and strings. The accelerations of the blocks are $a_1, a_2$ and $a_3$ as shown in the figure. The system is released from rest with the spring in its unstretched state. The maximum extension of the spring is $x_0$. Which of the following option$(s)$ is/are correct? [$g$ is the acceleration due to gravity. Neglect friction]
