detailed solution

Correct option is B

Since net horizontal force on the system is zero, its horizontal momentum must remain conserved. If V be the velocity of wedge relative to ground and u be the velocity of block relative to the wedge, we can write,MV + m(V - ucosθ) = M x 0 + m x 0 (where x = Displacement of wedge and l= displacement of block with respect to wedge)
