Two block A and B of masses m and `2m` respectively are connected by a spring of spring cosntant k. The masses are moving to the right with a uniform velocity `v_(0)` each, the heavier mass leading the lighter one. The spring is of natural length during this motion. Block B collides head on with a thrid block C of mass `2m`. at rest, the collision being completely inelastic. The maximum compression of the spring after collision is -
