$A$ body of mass $m$ having an initial velocity $v$,makes a head-on collision with a stationary body of mass $M$. After the collision,the body of mass $m$ comes to rest and only the body having mass $M$ moves. This will happen only when:

  • A
    $m >> M$
  • B
    $m << M$
  • C
    $m = M$
  • D
    $m = \frac{1}{2}M$
