$A$ bullet of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ passes through a pendulum bob of mass $M$ and emerges with a velocity $v/2$. What is the minimum value of $v$ so that the pendulum bob completes a full vertical circle of length $\ell$?

  • A
    $\frac{M}{m} \sqrt{2\ell g}$
  • B
    $\frac{2M}{m} \sqrt{2\ell g}$
  • C
    $\frac{M}{2m} \sqrt{5\ell g}$
  • D
    $\frac{2M}{m} \sqrt{5\ell g}$
