Solution
The correct option is A p1=2kg(^i+2^j−3^k)ms−1=(2^i+4^j−6^k)kgms−1p2=3kg(2^i+^j+^k)ms−1=(6^i+3^j+3^k)kgms−1 Resultant momentum is p=p1+p2 =(2^i+4^j−6^k)+(6^i+3^j+3^k) =(8^i+7^j−3^k)kgms−1 Total mass (m) = 2 + 3 = 5 kg. Therefore, the velocity of composite body is v=pm=15(8^i+7^j−3^k)ms−1 Hence the correct choice is (a).
