    A block with mass $M$ is connected by a massless spring with stiffiess constant $k$ to a rigid wall and moves without friction on a horizontal surface. The block oscillates with small amplitude $A$ about an equilibrium position $x_0$. Consider two cases: ($i$) when the block is at $x_0$; and ($ii$) when the block is at $x=x_0+A$. In both the cases, a perticle with mass $m$ is placed on the mass $M$ ?

    ($A$) The amplitude of oscillation in the first case changes by a factor of $\sqrt{\frac{M}{m+M}}$, whereas in the second case it remains unchanged

    ($B$) The final time period of oscillation in both the cases is same

    ($C$) The total energy decreases in both the cases

    ($D$) The instantaneous speed at $x_0$ of the combined masses decreases in both the cases
