Three particles A, B and C of equal masses move with equal speeds v along the medians of an equalateral triangle. They collide at the centroid O of the triangle. After collision A comes to rest while B retraces its path with speed v. The velocity of C is then
  1. v, direction\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{OA}}\)
  2. 2v, direction\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{OA}}\)
  3. 2v, direction\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{OB}}\)
  4. v, direction\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{BO}}\)

Answer

(D) v, direction BO
