A man of \(60\,kg\) is running on the road and suddenly jumps into a stationary trolly car of mass \(120\,kg\). Then. the trolly car starts moving with velocity \(2\,ms ^{-1}\). The velocity of the running man was _________\(ms ^{-1}\). when he jumps into the car

  1. A \(5\)
  2. B \(6\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(1\)
