Momentum and CollisionHard

Question

Three blocks A, B and C each  of mass m are placed on a surface  as shown in the figure. Blocks B and C are initial at rest. Block A is moving to the right with speed v. It collides with block B and sticks to it. The A - B combination collides elastically with block C. Which of the following statement is (are) true about the velocity of block B and C.

Options

A.Velocity of the block C after collision is 2/3 v towards right
B.Velocity of the A-B combination after collision is towards left
C.velocity of the A - B combination after collision is towards left
D.Velocity of the  block C after collision is towards right

Solution

v1 = u2
v2 = u1+ u2
For C : vC = u
