A man of mass $m_1$ is standing on a platform of mass $m_2$ kept on a smooth  horizontal surface. If the man starts moving on the platform with a velocity $v$ relative to the  platform, then recoil velocity of platform is

  • A

    $\frac{m_2v}{m_1+m_2}$

  • B

    $\frac{m_1v}{m_1+m_2}$

  • C

    $\frac{(m_1 + m_2)v}{m_1}$

  • D

    $\frac{(m_1 + m_2)v}{m_2}$
