Solution

The correct option is A compression will be maximum when blocks have same velocity
Correct option is (A) When A strikes B indastically (e=0) then; Momentum =CPi=PF2mv=mVv=V/2 Maximum compression will be maximum when both have same velocity as further there would be no direction for spring to move.
