since there is no relative motion only forces acting are

on m==>
1.Normal reaction(N1) upwards
2.weight=mg downwards

on M===>
1.N1 downwards
2.normal reation due to ground(N2)
3.weight =Mg downwards

n=0

and

N=0

@#5
on m==>
1.Normal reaction(N1) upwards
2.weight=mg downwards
3.friction=N in forward direction

on M===>
1.N1 downwards
2.normal reation due to ground(N2)
3.weight =Mg downwards
4.friction N in backward direction
5.friction n in backward direction

On block M:
Mg downwards
N1 upwards = (M+m)g
n towards left
N towards right

On block m:
mg downwards
N2 upwards = mg
N towards left

but actual force depends on magnitude of N and n...

John why N towards right for block m?

Perfect Answer Asish
You have to mention that
N<n for your result
