$A$ bullet of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ strikes a block of mass $M$ at rest and gets embedded into it. The kinetic energy of the composite block will be

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}mv^2 \times \frac{m}{m+M}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}mv^2 \times \frac{M}{m+M}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}mv^2 \times \frac{M+m}{M}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}Mv^2 \times \frac{m}{m+M}$
