Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

F = \(\frac{r}{2}\) and v = mu

F = \(\frac{UV}{U + V}\)

\(\frac{r}{2}\) = \(\frac{U \times mu}{U + mu}\)

\(\frac{r}{2}\) = \(\frac{mu^2}{u(1 + m)}\)

\(\frac{r}{2} = \frac{mu}{1+m}\)

\(\frac{r}{2} = \frac{v}{1+m}\)

\(\frac{2v}{r} = 1+m\)

\(m = \frac{2v}{r} - 1\)
