$A$ block of metal weighing $2 \,kg$ is resting on a frictionless plane (as shown in figure). It is struck by a jet releasing water at a rate of $1 \,kg \,s^{-1}$ and at a speed of $10 \,m \,s^{-1}$. Then,the initial acceleration of the block,in $m \,s^{-2}$,will be:

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $4$
