Solution

The correct option is B 2 m/s, 22m/s
Final K.E. = 0.2J
Initial K.E. =12mV21+0=12×0.1 u2=0.05 u2
mv1=mv2=mu
Where v1 and v2 are final velocities of 1st and 2nd block respectively.
v1+v2=u . . . (1)
(v1v2)+t(a1u2)=0ta=v2v1 . . . (2)
u2=0, u1=u
Adding Eq.(1) and Eq.(2)
2v2=(1+l)uv2=(u2)(1+l)
v1=uu2u2l
v1=u2(1l)
Given (12)mv21+(12)mv22=0.2
v21+v22=4
u24(1l)2+U24(1+l)2=4 u22(1+l2)=4 u2=81+l2
For maximum value of u, denominator should be minimum,
l=0
u2=8u=22m/s
For minimum value of u, denominator should be maximum,
l=1
u2=4u=2m/s
