Two particles A and B of equal mass M are moving with the same speed $\upsilon $ as shown in the figure. They collide completely inelastically and move as a single particle C. The angle $\theta $ that the path of C makes with the X-axis is given by :

Question

tan $\theta $ = ${{\sqrt 3 + \sqrt 2 } \over {1 - \sqrt 2 }}$

tan $\theta $ = ${{\sqrt 3 - \sqrt 2 } \over {1 - \sqrt 2 }}$

tan $\theta $ = ${{1 - \sqrt 2 } \over {\sqrt 2 \left( {1 + \sqrt 3 } \right)}}$

tan $\theta $ = ${{1 - \sqrt 3 } \over {1 + \sqrt 2 }}$
