$A$ moving body with a mass $m_1$ and velocity $u$ strikes a stationary body of mass $m_2$. The masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ should be in the ratio $\frac{m_1}{m_2}$,so as to decrease the velocity of the first body to $\frac{2u}{3}$ and give a velocity of $v$ to $m_2$,assuming a perfectly elastic impact. Then,the ratio $\frac{m_1}{m_2}$ is

  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $1$/$5$
  • C
    $1$/$25$
  • D
    $25$
