A bomb is kept stationary at a point. It suddenly explodes into two fragments of masses 1 g and 3 g. The total K.E. of the fragments is 6.4 
10 4 J. What is the K.E. of the smaller fragment
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
As the momentum of both fragments are equal therefore 
i.e. 
…(i)
According to problem 
…(ii)
By solving equation (i) and (ii) we get
and
