A hunter fired a metallic bullet of mass 'm' kg from a gun towards an obstacle and it just melts when it is stopped by the obstacle. The initial temperature of the bullet is 300 K . If `1/4 th` of heat is absorbed by the obstacle, then the minimum velocity of the bullet is Melting point of bullet=600 K Specific heat of bullet =`0.03 cal g^-1^@C^-1`, Latent heat of fusion of bullet= `6 cal g^-1`]

A

`410 ms^-1`

B

`260 ms^-1`

C

`460 ms^-1`

D

`310 ms^-1`
