Question 5

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 $$v$$ towards B due to which it collides with B perfectly inelastically. The combined mass collides with C, also perfectly inelastically. $$\frac{5}{6}$$th of the initial kinetic energy is lost in the whole process. What is the value of $$M/m$$?
