$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally with velocity $v_0$ strikes a smooth wedge of mass $M$,as shown in the figure. After the collision,the particle starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to a height $h$. The maximum height $h$ attained by the particle is:

  • A
    $\left( {\frac{M}{{m + M}}} \right)\frac{{v_0^2}}{{2g}}$
  • B
    $\left( {\frac{m}{{m + M}}} \right)\frac{{v_0^2}}{{2g}}$
  • C
    $\left( {\frac{m}{M}} \right)\frac{{v_0^2}}{{2g}}$
  • D
    none of these
