The moment of inertia of a uniform rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ about an axis through its centre and perpendicular to its length is given by $\frac{ML^2}{12}$. Now,consider one such rod pivoted at its centre,free to rotate in a vertical plane. The rod is at rest in the vertical position. $A$ bullet of mass $M$ moving horizontally at a speed $v$ strikes and embeds itself in one end of the rod. The angular velocity of the rod just after the collision will be

  • A
    $v/L$
  • B
    $2v/L$
  • C
    $3v/2L$
  • D
    $6v/L$
