Two touching blocks $1$ and $2$ are placed on an inclined plane forming an angle $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The masses are $m_1$ and $m_2$ and the coefficients of friction between the inclined plane and the two blocks are $1.5 \mu$ and $1.0 \mu$, respectively. The force of reaction between the blocks during the motion is ($g=$ acceleration due to gravity).

  • A
    $\left(m_2-m_1\right) \mu g$
  • B
    $\left(m_2+m_1\right) \mu g$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} \frac{m_1 m_2}{m_1+m_2} \mu g$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4} \frac{m_1 m_2}{m_1+m_2} \mu g$
