The upper portion of an inclined plane of inclination $\alpha$ is smooth and the lower portion is rough. $A$ particle slides down from rest from the top and just comes to rest at the foot. If the ratio of the smooth length to rough length is $m : n$,the coefficient of friction is

  • A
    $\left[ \frac{m + n}{n} \right] \tan \alpha$
  • B
    $\left[ \frac{m + n}{n} \right] \cot \alpha$
  • C
    $\left[ \frac{m - n}{n} \right] \cot \alpha$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}$
