A buggy of mass $100\, kg$ is free to move on a frictionless horizontal track. Two men, each of mass $50\, kg$, are standing on the buggy, which is initially stationary. The men jump off the buggy with velocity $=10m/s$ relative to the buggy. In one situation, the men jump one after the other. In another situation, the men jump simultaneously. What is the ratio of the recoil velocities of the buggy in two cases?

  • A

    $5 : 4$

  • B

    $5 : 3$

  • C

    $7 : 6$

  • D

    $7 : 5$
