Two masses `m_(A)` and `m_(B)` moving with velocities `v_(A)` and `v_(B)` in opposite direction collide elastically after that the masses `m_(A)` and `m_(B)` move with velocity `v_(B)` and `v_(A)` respectively. The ratio `(m_(A)//m_(B))` is

A

`1/2`

B

`1`

C

`(V_(a)+V_(b))/(V_(a)-V_(b))`

D

`(V_(a)-V_(b))(V_(a)+V_(b))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
