A loaded spring gun of mass M fires a shot of mass m with a velocity v at an angle of elevation θ.The gun is initially at rest on a horizontal friction less surface. After firing  the centre of mass of the gun-shot system

a
Moves with a velocity mvM
b
Moves with a velocity mvMcosθ in the horizontal direction
c
Moves with a  velocity mvsinθM+m along vertical direction
d
Moves with a velocity vM-mM+m  in horizontal direction

detailed solution

Correct option is C

as there is no force acting in the horizontal direction velocity of the center of mass remain zero but vertical direction bullet has a velocity vsinθ;so velocity of center of mass along vertical direction is   mvsinθM+m
