Two masses $A$ and $B$,each of mass $M$,are connected by a massless spring. $A$ force $F$ acts on the mass $B$ as shown in the figure. If the mass $A$ starts moving away from mass $B$ with acceleration $a$,then the acceleration of mass $B$ will be:

  • A
    $\frac{ Ma - F }{ M }$
  • B
    $\frac{ MF }{ F + Ma }$
  • C
    $\frac{ F + Ma }{ M }$
  • D
    $\frac{ F - Ma }{ M }$
