$A$ nucleus of mass $M + \Delta m$ at rest decays into two daughter nuclei of equal mass $M/2$. If the speed of light is $c$,the speed of each daughter nucleus is:

  • A
    $c\sqrt {\frac{{\Delta m}}{{M + \Delta m}}} $
  • B
    $c\frac{{\Delta m}}{{M + \Delta m}}$
  • C
    $c\sqrt {\frac{{2\Delta m}}{M}} $
  • D
    $c\sqrt {\frac{{\Delta m}}{M}} $
