$A$ cart of mass $M$ is tied to one end of a massless rope of length $10\, m$. The other end of the rope is held by a man of mass $M$. The entire system is on a smooth horizontal surface. The man is at $x = 0$ and the cart is at $x = 10\, m$. If the man pulls the cart by the rope,the man and the cart will meet at the point:

  • A
    $x = 0$
  • B
    $x = 5\, m$
  • C
    $x = 10\, m$
  • D
    They will never meet
