A wooden block of mass $M$  is suspended by a cord and is at rest. A bullet of mass $m,$ moving with a velocity $v$ passes through the block and comes out with a velocity $v/2$  in the same direction. If there is no loss in kinetic energy, then upto what height the block will rise

  • A

    $m^2v^2/2M^2g$

  • B

    $m^2v^2/8M^2g$

  • C

    $mv^2/4Mg$

  • D

    $mv^2/2Mg$
