$A$ particle of mass $4 M$ which is initially at rest explodes into three pieces of masses $M, M$ and $2 M$. The equal masses move along $X$ and $Y$-axes with velocities $4 \ m s^{-1}$ and $6 \ m s^{-1}$ respectively. The magnitude of the velocity of the heavier mass is

  • A
    $\sqrt{17} \ m s^{-1}$
  • B
    $2 \sqrt{13} \ m s^{-1}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{13} \ m s^{-1}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2} \ m s^{-1}$
