A running man has half the kinetic energy of that of a boy of half of his mass. The man speeds up by $1\,m/s$ so as to have same K.E. as that of the boy. The original speed of the man will be

  • A

    $\sqrt 2 \,m/s$

  • B

    $(\sqrt 2 - 1)\,m/s$

  • C

    $\frac{1}{{(\sqrt 2 - 1)}}m/s$

  • D

    $\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}m/s$
