$A$ uniform rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. $A$ particle of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ strikes the rod at one end perpendicularly and comes to rest. The velocity of the centre of mass of the rod after the collision is:

  • A
    $v$
  • B
    $\frac{mv}{M}$
  • C
    $\frac{mv}{M+m}$
  • D
    $\frac{Mv}{m}$
