Solution

The correct option is D 20 kg m/s
Let the initial velocity of the object is u0
So,
K.E.=12mu20
400=12×2×u20
u0=400
u0=20 m/s
For finding the acceleration of body due to opposite force F=10 N,
F=ma [Force is in opposite direction]
10=2×a
a=5 m/s2
Applying 1st equation of motion
v=u0+at
v=20+(5)×2
v=10 m/s
The momentum P is
P=mv=10×2=20 kg m/s
