Four particles $A, B, C$ and $D$ of equal mass are placed at four corners of a square. They move with equal uniform speed $v$ towards the intersection of the diagonals. After collision, $A$ comes to rest, $B$ traces its path back with same speed and $C$ and $D$ move with equal speeds. What is the velocity of $C$ after collision
