$A$ body of mass $M$ is at rest. It explodes into three fragments. Two of the fragments,each of mass $M/4$,fly off perpendicular to each other with velocities of $3 \ m/s$ and $4 \ m/s$ respectively. What is the velocity of the third fragment in $m/s$?

  • A
    $1.5$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $2.5$
  • D
