$A$ smooth sphere of mass $M$ moving with velocity $u$ directly collides elastically with another sphere of mass $m$ at rest. After collision,their final velocities are $V$ and $v$ respectively. The value of $v$ is

  • A
    $\frac{2uM}{m}$
  • B
    $\frac{2um}{M}$
  • C
    $\frac{2u}{1 + \frac{m}{M}}$
  • D
    $\frac{2u}{1 + \frac{M}{m}}$
