Two particles of masses `m_(1)` and `m_(2)` initially at rest a infinite distance from each other, move under the action of mutual gravitational pull. Show that at any instant therir relative velocity of approach is `sqrt(2G(m_(1)+m_(2))//R)` where `R` is their separation at that instant.

A

`sqrt((G(m_(1)+m_(2)))/(r))`

B

`sqrt((2G(m_(1)+m_(2)))/(r))`

C

`sqrt((Gm_(1)m_(2))/((m_(1)+m_(2))r))`

D

`sqrt((G(m_(1)+m_(2)))/(2r))`
