If the engine of a long train moving with constant acceleration crosses a tree with velocity $u$ and the last compartment of the train crosses the same tree with velocity $v$,then the velocity with which the middle compartment crosses the same tree is

  • A
    $\frac{(v+u)}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{2uv}{(u+v)}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{v^2+u^2}{2}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2(u^2+v^2)}$
