After on head on elastic collision between two balls of equal masses , one is observed to  have a speed of $3\, m/s$ along positive $x$ -axis and the other has a speed of $2\, m/s$ along negative $x$ -axis. The original velocities of the balls are

  • A

    $-2 \,m/s$ and $+3 \,m/s$

  • B

    $+2 \,m/s$ and $+3 \,m/s$

  • C

    $-3 \,m/s$ and $+2 \,m/s$

  • D

    $+3 \,m/s$ and $-2 \,m/s$
