$A$ particle of mass $m$ is projected with a speed $u$ from the ground at an angle $\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}$ w.r.t. horizontal ($x$-axis). When it has reached its maximum height,it collides completely inelastically with another particle of the same mass and velocity $u \hat{i}$. The horizontal distance covered by the combined mass before reaching the ground is

  • A
    $\frac{3 \sqrt{2}}{4} \frac{u^{2}}{g}$
  • B
    $2 \sqrt{2} \frac{u^{2}}{g}$
  • C
    $\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{8} \frac{u^{2}}{g}$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{8} \frac{u^{2}}{g}$
