An ideal spring is connected between two blocks of masses $M$ and $m$. This system can move on a smooth horizontal table. The blocks are brought closer to compress the spring and then released. In the subsequent motion,select the true statement$(s)$:
$(a)$ They move in opposite directions with speeds inversely proportional to their masses.
$(b)$ The ratio of their speeds remains constant.
$(c)$ Linear momentum and energy of the system remain conserved.

$A$ $1\; kg$ block situated on a rough incline is connected to a spring of spring constant $100\; N m^{-1}$ as shown in the figure. The block is released from rest with the spring in the unstretched position. The block moves $10\; cm$ down the incline before coming to rest. Find the coefficient of friction between the block and the incline. Assume that the spring has a negligible mass and the pulley is frictionless.
