Choose the correct option: A small block of mass 'm' is placed on bigger block of mass M_(1) which is placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. The two blocks are given equal speed u_(1) but opposite directions, as shown in the figure. After sometime, it is observed that both blocks are moving in the direction of motion of the lower block, with a speed greater than (u)/(2) . It can be concluded that -
