In the figure shown,two identical balls of mass $M$ and radius $R$ each are placed in contact with each other on a frictionless horizontal surface. $A$ third ball of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is coming down vertically and has a velocity $v_0$ when it simultaneously hits the two balls and comes to rest. Then,each of the two bigger balls will move after the collision with a speed equal to:

  • A
    $4v_0 / \sqrt{5}$
  • B
    $2v_0 / \sqrt{5}$
  • C
    $v_0 / \sqrt{5}$
  • D
    None
