  • A
    $\frac{E}{9}$
  • B
    $\frac{2E}{9}$
  • C
    $\frac{8E}{9}$
  • D
    $E$

$A$ steel sphere of radius $1.2 \ cm$ collides with a second steel sphere at rest. If the collision is elastic and after the collision the first sphere continues to move in its initial direction with a velocity of $\frac{7}{9}$ times its initial velocity,then the radius of the second sphere is (in $cm$)
