Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of same mass undergo a completely inelastic one-dimensional collision. The body $A$ moves with velocity $v_1$ while body $B$ is at rest before the collision. The velocity of the system after the collision is $v_2$. The ratio $v_1: v_2$ is

  • A
    $2: 1$
  • B
    $4: 1$
  • C
    $1: 4$
  • D
    $1: 2$
