A particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally with $v_0$ strikes $a$ smooth wedge of mass $M$, as shown in figure. After collision, the ball starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to $a$ height $h$. The maximum height h attained by the particle is 

37-758

  • A

    $\left( {\frac{m}{{m + M}}} \right)\frac{{v_0^2}}{{2g}}$

  • B

    $\left( {\frac{m}{M}} \right)\frac{{v_0^2}}{{2g}}$

  • C

    $\left( {\frac{M}{{m + M}}} \right)\frac{{v_0^2}}{{2g}}$

  • D

    none of these
