$A$ bullet of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ strikes a block of mass $M$ and gets embedded in it. The kinetic energy of the system is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}mv^2 \times \frac{m}{(m + M)}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}mv^2 \times \frac{M}{(m + M)}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}mv^2 \times \frac{(M + m)}{M}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}Mv^2 \times \frac{m}{(m + M)}$
