$A$ small block of mass $m$ is placed on a wedge of mass $M$ as shown,which is initially at rest. All the surfaces are frictionless. The spring attached to the other end of the wedge has a force constant $k$. If $a'$ is the acceleration of $m$ relative to the wedge as it starts coming down and $A$ is the acceleration acquired by the wedge as the block starts coming down,then the maximum velocity of $M$ is:

  • A
    $\sqrt {2gh} $
  • B
    $\sqrt {\frac{{2ghm}}{{m + M}}} $
  • C
    $\sqrt {\frac{{2{m^2}gh}}{{mM + {M^2}}}} $
  • D
    None
