Solution

The correct option is D $9.87 m s^{- 1}$
Resultant momentum of two piece of equal masses is

$p = \sqrt{(21 \times 1)^{2} + (21 \times 1)^{2}}$

$= 21 \sqrt{2} k g m s^{- 1}$

From conservation of momentum $3 V = 21 \sqrt{2} ($ where $V$ is velocity of $3 k g$ piece $)$

or $V = 7 \sqrt{2} = 9.87 m s^{- 1}$

The correct option is D 9.87 ms−1Resultant momentum of two piece of equal masses is p=√(21×1)2+(21×1)2=21√2 kgms−1From conservation of momentum 3V=21√2(where V is velocity of 3 kg piece)or V=7√2=9.87 ms−1
