$A$ man of mass $m$ is standing on a platform of mass $M$ kept on a smooth ice surface. If the man starts moving on the platform with a speed $v$ relative to the platform,with what velocity does the platform recoil relative to the ice?

  • A
    $\frac{mv}{M + m}$
  • B
    $\frac{mv}{M}$
  • C
    $\frac{m}{M - m}$
  • D
    $\frac{3mv}{2M + m}$
