$A$ shell at rest on a smooth horizontal surface explodes into two fragments of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$. If just after explosion $m_1$ moves with speed $u$,then the work done by internal forces during the explosion is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}\left(m_1+m_2\right) \frac{m_2}{m_1} u^2$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}\left(m_1+m_2\right) u^2$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} m_1 u^2\left(1+\frac{m_1}{m_2}\right)$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}\left(m_2-m_1\right) u^2$
