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)} $
