$A$ man who is running has half the kinetic energy of a boy of half his mass. The man speeds up by $1 \, m/s$ and then has the same kinetic energy as the boy. The original speed of the man was:

  • A
    $\sqrt{2} \, m/s$
  • B
    $(\sqrt{2} - 1) \, m/s$
  • C
    $2 \, m/s$
  • D
    $(\sqrt{2} + 1) \, m/s$
