An object flying in air with velocity $(20 \hat{i}+25 \hat{j}-12 \hat{k})$ suddenly breaks into two pieces whose masses are in the ratio $1:5$. The smaller mass flies off with a velocity $(100 \hat{i}+35 \hat{j}+8 \hat{k})$. The velocity of the larger piece will be:

  • A
    $4 \hat{i}+23 \hat{j}-16 \hat{k}$
  • B
    $-100 \hat{i}-35 \hat{j}-8 \hat{k}$
  • C
    $20 \hat{i}+15 \hat{j}-80 \hat{k}$
  • D
    $-20 \hat{i}-15 \hat{j}-80 \hat{k}$

Two masses $A$ and $B$ of mass $M$ and $2M$ respectively are connected by a compressed ideal spring. The system is placed on a horizontal frictionless table and given a velocity $u \hat{k}$ in the $z$-direction as shown in the figure. The spring is then released. In the subsequent motion,the line from $B$ to $A$ always points along the $\hat{i}$ unit vector. At some instant of time,mass $B$ has an $x$-component of velocity as $V_x \hat{i}$. The velocity $\vec{V}_A$ of mass $A$ at that instant is:
