$A$ block of mass $m$ attached to a massless spring is performing oscillatory motion of amplitude $A$ on a frictionless horizontal plane. If half of the mass of the block breaks off when it is passing through its equilibrium point,the amplitude of oscillation for the remaining system becomes $fA$. The value of $f$ is

  • A
    $1/2$
  • B
    $1/\sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $1$
  • D
    $\sqrt{2}$
