For the body to just topple or translate, the force equations are same. The force equation for just toppling or just translation is 

F - f = 0 

=> F = f    ....(1)

N - mg = 0 

⇒ N = mg;   f ≤ µmg

If µ =0.2, Maximum frictional force = 0.2 mg

Therefore using equation (1) the force required to move the body by translation is F = 0.2 mg. 

The Force required to topple the body is F = 0.5 mg. 

Therefore transalation happens first. The body will translate and not topple.
