Two blocks A and B are placed on a plane surface as shown in the figure. The mass of block A is 100 kg and that of block B is 200 kg. Block A is tied to a stand and block B is pulled by a force F. If the coefficient of friction between the surfaces of A and B is 0.2 and the coefficient of friction between B and the plane is 0.3, then for the motion of B the minimum value of F will be,
