A particle of mass $4\, m$ which is at rest explodes into three fragments. Two of the  fragments each of mass $m$ are found to move with a speed $v$ each in perpendicular directions. The total energy released in the process will be

  • A

    $3\,mv^2$

  • B

    $\frac{7}{2} \, mv^2$

  • C

    $\frac{3}{2} \, mv^2$

  • D

    $4\,mv^2$
