\huge{ \mathrm{&nbsp; \underline{ Answer }\:&nbsp; \:&nbsp; ✓ }}

Total force acting on right side = 800 N

Total force acting on left side :

  • 60 N + 40 N

  • 100 N

Now, equivalent force acting on the plane is :

  • greater force - minor force

  • 800 N - 100 N
  • 700 Newtons

And the direction of equivalent force will be the direction of greater force, that is right direction.

Hence, Correct option is :

  • 700 N right -->
