$A$ small block of mass $m$ is placed on $a$ wedge of mass $M$ as shown, which is initially at rest. All the surfaces are frictionless . The spring attached to the other end of wedge has force constant $k$. If $a'$ is the acceleration of $m$ relative to the wedge as it starts coming down and $A$ is the acceleration acquired by the wedge as the block starts coming down, then

  • A

    $\frac{{a'}}{{\sqrt 2 }} < A < a'$

  • B

    $A < \frac{{a'}}{{\sqrt 2 }}$

  • C

    $A > a'$

  • D

    None
