Body $A$ of mass $4m$ moving with speed $u$ collides with another body $B$ of mass $2m$ at rest. The collision is head-on and elastic in nature. After the collision, the fraction of energy lost by the colliding body $A$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{5}{9}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{9}$
  • C
    $\frac{8}{9}$
  • D
    $\frac{4}{9}$
