Correct Option is (C)
The kinetic energy of a body of mass and velocity is given by . Since the bodies have the same linear
momentum, we can write:
where is the linear momentum of the bodies.
Let the masses of the two bodies be and and their kinetic energies be and , respectively. Then, we have:
Since , we have and . Substituting these in the above equation,
we get:
Therefore, the ratio of the masses of the two bodies is .
