Two particles $A$ and $B$ of equal mass $M$ are moving with the same speed $v$ as shown in the figure. They collide completely inelastically and move as a single particle $C$. The angle $\theta$ that the path of $C$ makes with the $X$-axis is given by

  • A
    $\tan \theta = \frac{\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}}{1 - \sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\tan \theta = \frac{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}}{1 - \sqrt{2}}$
  • C
    $\tan \theta = \frac{1 - \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}(1 + \sqrt{3})}$
  • D
    $\tan \theta = \frac{1 - \sqrt{3}}{1 + \sqrt{2}}$
