$A$ neutron moving with velocity $u$ collides elastically with a stationary atom of mass number $A$. If the collision is head-on and the initial kinetic energy of the neutron is $E$, then the final kinetic energy of the neutron after the collision is:

  • A
    ${\left( {\frac{{A + 1}}{{A - 1}}} \right)^2}E$
  • B
    ${\left( {\frac{{A - 1}}{{A + 1}}} \right)^2}E$
  • C
    $\left( {\frac{{A - 1}}{{A + 1}}} \right)E$
  • D
    $\left( {\frac{{A + 1}}{{A - 1}}} \right)E$
