Two particles $A$ and $B$ (both initially at rest) start moving towards each other under a mutual force of attraction. At the instant, when the speed of $A$ is $v$ and the speed of $B$ is $2v$, the speed of the centre of mass is

  • A
    zero
  • B
    $v$
  • C
    $\frac{3v}{2}$
  • D
    $-\frac{3v}{2}$
