A light particle moving horizontally with a speed $v_1$ strikes a very heavy block moving in the same direction with a speed $v_2$. The collision is elastic. After the collision, the velocity of particle is :-

822-646

  • A

    $2v_1 -v_2$ in original direction

  • B

    $v_1 -v_2$ in original direction

  • C

    $v_2 -2v_1$ in original direction

  • D

    $2v_2 -v_1$ in original direction
