$A$ body of mass $2\, kg$ moving with a velocity of $3\, m/s$ collides head-on with a body of mass $1\, kg$ moving in the opposite direction with a velocity of $4\, m/s$. After the collision,the two bodies stick together and move with a common velocity. The common velocity in $m/s$ is equal to:

  • A
    $1/4$
  • B
    $1/3$
  • C
    $2/3$
  • D
    $3/4$
