A wardrobe (mass 100 kg, height 4m, width 2m, depth 1m), symmetric about the Y-Y axis, stands on a rough level floor as shown in the figure. A force P is applied at mid-height on the wardrobe so as to tip it about point Q without slipping. What are the minimum values of the force (in Newton) and the static coefficient of friction  between the floor and the wardrobe, respectively?                                                        

 

      (a) 490.5 and 0.5

      (b) 981 and 0.5

      (c) 1000.5 and 0.15

      (d) 1000.5 and 0.25
