$A$ block of mass $4 m$ travelling at a velocity $v_1$ in the $x$-direction on a frictionless horizontal plane makes a head-on collision with another block of mass $2 m$ travelling in the opposite direction with a velocity $v_2$. After the collision,both blocks travel as a single block along the $x$-direction with a final velocity $5 v_2$. The ratio of velocities $\frac{v_1}{v_2}$ is

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $8$
