  • A
    $\frac{n}{(1+n)^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{2n}{(1+n)^2}$
  • C

Two balls $A$ and $B$,of masses $M$ and $2M$ respectively,collide with each other. If ball $A$ moves with a speed of $150 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and collides with ball $B$ moving with speed $v$ in the opposite direction,and after the collision ball $A$ comes to rest with the coefficient of restitution being $1$,then the speed of ball $B$ before it collides with ball $A$ is: (in $m \ s^{-1}$)
