If you are aware of making FBD then draw the FBD for the block and and wedge separately and then try to write Force balance equation and finally solve that equation.

If you consider the FBD of the small block:

mgsinC-T=ma(where a is the acceleration of the small block and subsequently the wedge.)
or, T=mgsinC-ma

If we consider the FBD of the wedge:

T-TcosC+mgsinCcosC=Ma
By replacing the value of T we get:
mgsinC-ma-mgsinCcosC+macosC+mgsinCcosC=Ma

By solving we get:
a(acceleration)=mgsinCM+m-mcosC(Ans.)
