A mass $M$, attached to a horizontal spring, executes S.H.M. with amplitude $A_1$. When the mass $M$ passes through its mean position then a smaller mass $m$ is placed over it and both of them move together with amplitude $A_2$. The ratio of $\frac{{{A_1}}}{{{A_2}}}$ is
  • A$\frac{M}{{M + m}}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;$
  • B$\;\frac{{M + m}}{M}$
  • C${\left( {\;\frac{M}{{M + m}}} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
  • D${\left( {\;\frac{{M + m}}{M}} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
