Two particles each of mass $m$ and charge $q$ are separated by distance $r_1$ and the system is left free to move at $t = 0$. At time $t$ both the particles are found to be separated by distance $r_2$. The speed of each particle is

  • A

    $\frac{{qm}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}{r_1}{r_2}}}$

  • B

  • D

    none of these
