Solution
The correct option is Du√sin2θ+e2cos2θ As the floor is frictionless and there is no horizontal force, therefore, momentum must be conserved in the horizontal direction. i.e. musinθ=mvsinϕ or vsinϕ=usinθ ....(1) And in vertical direction, vcosϕucosθ=e or vcosϕ=eucosθ ....(2) Squaring and adding (1) and (2), v2(sin2ϕ+cos2ϕ)=u2sin2θ+e2u2cos2θ v=u√sin2θ+e2cos2θ.
