$A$ ball of mass $m$ strikes the inclined face of the wedge of mass $M$ normally with speed $v_0$. The wedge is at rest on a rough horizontal surface before the collision. The conservation of momentum is applicable for the event of collision for:
$(i)$ $m$ as system,along $Y'$
$(ii)$ $M$ as system,along $Y'$
$(iii)$ $(M + m)$ as system,along $X$
$(iv)$ $(M + m)$ as system,along $Y$
Which of the following is correct?

  • A
    $(i)$ only
  • B
    $(i)$ and $(ii)$ only
  • C
    $(iii)$ only
  • D
    $(iii)$ and $(iv)$ only
