A body of mass m is moving in a circular orbit of radius R about a planet of mass M. At some instant, it splits into two equal masses. The first mass moves in a circular orbit of radius `R/2`. And the other mass, in a circular orbit of radius `(3R)/(2)`. The difference between the final and initial total energies is :

A

`- (GMm)/(2R)`

B

`(GMm)/(2R)`

C

`-(GMm)/(6R)`

D

`+(GMm)/(6R)`
