Two particles of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ move with initial velocities $u_1$ and $u_2$. On collision,one of the particles gets excited to a higher level after absorbing energy $\varepsilon$. If the final velocities of the particles are $v_1$ and $v_2$,then we must have:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2u_2^2 = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2 - \varepsilon$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2u_2^2 - \varepsilon = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2u_2^2 + \varepsilon = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2$
  • D
    $m_1^2u_1 + m_2^2u_2 - \varepsilon = m_1^2v_1 + m_2^2v_2$
