Consider two identical metallic spheres of radius $R$ each having charge $Q$ and mass $m$. Their centers have an initial separation of $4R$. Both the spheres are given an initial speed of $u$ towards each other. The minimum value of $u$, so that they can just touch each other is:

(Take $k = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}$ and assume $kQ^2 > Gm^2$ where $G$ is the Gravitational constant)

A

$ \sqrt{\frac{kQ^2}{4mR} \left(1 + \frac{Gm^2}{kQ^2} \right)} $

B

$ \sqrt{\frac{kQ^2}{2mR} \left(1 - \frac{Gm^2}{2kQ^2} \right)} $

C

$ \sqrt{\frac{kQ^2}{2mR} \left(1 - \frac{Gm^2}{kQ^2} \right)} $

D

$ \sqrt{\frac{kQ^2}{4mR} \left(1 - \frac{Gm^2}{kQ^2} \right)} $

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $\mathbf{A}$ and the other is labelled as Reason $\mathbf{R}$

Assertion A : Work done in moving a test charge between two points inside a uniformly charged spherical shell is zero, no matter which path is chosen.

Reason R : Electrostatic potential inside a uniformly charged spherical shell is constant and is same as that on the surface of the shell.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

A

A is true but R is false

B

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

C

Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

D

A is false but R is true
