A bullet of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ strikes a block of mass $M$ at rest and gets embedded into it. The kinetic energy of the composite block will be

  • A

    $\frac{1}{2}m{v^2} \times \frac{m}{{(m + M)}}$

  • B

    $\frac{1}{2}m{v^2} \times \frac{M}{{(m + M)}}$

  • C

    $\frac{1}{2}m{v^2} \times \frac{M+m}{{(M)}}$

  • D

    $\frac{1}{2}m{v^2} \times \frac{2m}{{( M+m)}}$

A force $F = - K(yi + xj)$ (where K is a positive constant) acts on a particle moving in the xy-plane. Starting from the origin, the particle is taken along the positive x-axis to the point $(a, 0)$ and then parallel to the y-axis to the point $(a, a)$. The total work done by the force F on the particles is
