In a smooth circular tube a radius R a mass of 3m at rest splits into two fragments of m and 2m respectively. The smaller mass attains a speed of `2V_(0)` tangentially at that point and continues to move in circular path. The other fragment also moves in the circular tube. The arrangement is present in a horizontal plane. Which of the following is/are correct.

A

instantaneously the heavier fragment acquires a speed of `2V_(0)`

B

instantaneously the heavier fragment acquires a speed of `V_(0)`

C

the two meet each other after a time interval of `2pi R//3V_(0)`

D

the two meet each other after a time interval of `2pi R//4V_(0)`
