$A$ truck of mass $M$ is at rest on a frictionless road when a monkey of mass $m$ starts moving on the truck in the forward direction. If the truck recoils with a speed $v$ backward on the road,with what velocity is the monkey moving with respect to the truck?

  • A
    $\left( 1 + \frac{M}{m} \right) v$
  • B
    $\left( 1 + \frac{m}{M} \right) v$
  • C
    $\frac{Mv}{m}$
  • D
    $\frac{mv}{M}$
