The bob of a simple pendulum (mass $m$ and length $l$) is dropped from a horizontal position. It strikes a block of the same mass $m$ placed on a horizontal frictionless table. The collision is elastic. The kinetic energy of the block after the collision will be

  • A
    $2\, mgl$
  • B
    $mgl/2$
  • C
    $mgl$
  • D
    $0$
