$A$ stick of length $l$ and mass $M$ lies on a frictionless horizontal surface on which it is free to move in any way. $A$ ball of mass $m$ moving with speed $v$ collides elastically with the stick at one of its ends as shown in the figure. If after the collision the ball comes to rest,what should be the mass of the ball?

  • A
    $m = 2M$
  • B
    $m = M$
  • C
    $m = \frac{M}{2}$
  • D
    $m = \frac{M}{4}$
