Three blocks A, B and C are lying on a smooth horizontal surface, as shown in the figure. A and B have equal masses, m while C has mass M, Block A is given an initial speed towards B due to which it collides with B perfectly inelastically. The combined mass collides with C, also perfectly inelastically th of the initial kinetic energy is lost in whole process. What is value of M/m ? 
- A5
- B2
- C4
- D3
