A heavy ball of mass `2M` moving with a velocity `v_(0)` collides elastically head on with a cradle of three identical ball each of mass `M` as shown in figure. Determine the velocity of each ball after collision.

A

The balls numbered 2 and 3 will move with velocity v, the others staying at rest.

B

The ball numbered 3 will move with velocity `2v_(s)` all others staying at rest.

C

The ball numbered 3 moves with velocity 4v/3 and the striking ball moves with velocity v/3

D

The balls numbered 1, 2 and 3 move with velocity v/3 and the striking ball stops dead.
