C.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The weight of the block,
The distance by which the opposite end of the rope is pulled,
The distance by which the block is raised,
Formula used:
The idea mechanical advantage is the ratio of the distances moved,
Where
Calculation:
Using the given values in above formula, the ideal mechanical advantage of the pulley system will be,
Conclusion:
Thus, the ideal mechanical advantage of the pulley system is
