Blocks of masses 
and 
are arranged in a line on a frictionless floor. Another block of mass m, moving with speed v along the same line (see figure) collides with mass m in perfectly inelastic manner. All the subsequent collisions are also perfectly inelastic. By the time the last block of mass 
starts moving the total energy loss is p% of the original energy. Value of 'P' is close to
