a) \[\frac{Ml}{M+m}\]
b) \[\frac{ml}{M+m}\]
c) \[\frac{M+m}{M}l\]

3. A boy on a cycle pedals around a circle of 20 metres radius at a speed of 20 metres/sec. The combined mass of the boy and the cycle is 90 kg.
The angle that the cycle makes with the vertical so that it may not fall is \[\left(g=9.8 m\diagup sec^{2}\right)\]
a) \[60.25^{\circ}\]
b) \[63.90^{\circ}\]
c) \[26.12^{\circ}\]
d) \[30.00^{\circ}\]
