$A$ massless platform is kept on a light elastic spring as shown in the figure. When a sand particle of mass $0.1 \; kg$ is dropped on the pan from a height of $0.24 \; m$,the particle strikes the pan and the spring is compressed by $0.01 \; m$. From what height should the particle be dropped to cause a compression of $0.04 \; m$ (in $; m$)?

  • A
    $3.96$
  • B
    $5.25$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $6.2$
