A monkey is climbing on a rope that goes over

Question:

A monkey is climbing on a rope that goes over a smooth light pulley and supports a block of equal mass at the other end. Show that whatever forces the monkey exerts on the rope, the monkey and the block move in the same direction with equal acceleration. If initially both were at rest, their separation will not change as time passes.

Solution:

That means both are in same direction.
