Two masses $A$ and $B$ of mass $M$ and $2M$ respectively are connected by a compressed ideal spring. The system is placed on $a$ horizontal frictionless table and given $a$ velocity $u\, \hat k$ in the $z$ -direction as shown in the figure. The spring is then released. In the subsequent motion the line from $B$ to $A$ always points along the $\hat i$ unit vector. At some instant of $\rho$ time mass $B$ has $a$ $x$ -component of velocity as $V_x\, \hat i$ . The velocity ${\vec V_A}$ of as $A$ at that instant is

  • A

    $V_x\, \hat i + u \hat k$

  • B

    $-V_x \hat i+ u \hat k$

  • C

    $-2 V_x \hat i + u \hat k$

  • D

    $2V_x \hat i+ u \hat k$
