$A$ ball of mass $1.2 \ kg$ moving with a velocity of $12 \ ms^{-1}$ makes a one-dimensional collision with another stationary ball of mass $1.2 \ kg$. If the coefficient of restitution is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$,then the ratio of the total kinetic energy of the balls after the collision to the initial kinetic energy is:

  • A
    $3: 4$
  • B
    $1: 1$
  • C
    $2: 3$
  • D
    $3: \sqrt{2}$
