The particle of mass 5 m breaks in three fragments of mass 
and 
, respectively. Two
fragments of mass 
each, move in perpendicular direction with velocity 
and the left fragment will move in a direction with velocity 
such that the total momentum of the system must remain conserved.
By law of conservation of momentum,
Energy released,
