In CM frame the blocks will perform SHM as

 

Question Image

*+Tv0/2  vCM=v0/2  VCM is constant hence both will can have maximum velocity v0/2 towards right in CM frame.

  vBmax=v0   in ground frame

In CM frame vAmin=-v0/2

CMvB=v0/2vB=v0/2CMCMCM  vAmin=A0   in ground frame

i.e. A move only in right direction

In CM frame vB=v0/2 left in the case when spring is at natural length

vB=0 in ground frame at that instant. 

When the extension of the spring is maximum , both A and B will move with same velocity in the same direction as the COM.
