$A$ block of mass $m$ is moving with a velocity $u$ on a smooth horizontal surface towards a wedge of same mass $m$ initially kept at rest. The wedge is free to move in any direction. Initially, the block moves up the smooth inclined plane of the wedge to a height $h$ and then moves down back to the horizontal plane. In this process, the wedge gains a velocity equal to:

  • A
    $u$
  • B
    $u/2$
  • C
    $0$
  • D
    $2u$
