Solution

The correct option is A mv
The component of velocity has changed along xdirection as shown in figure, hence momentum of ball has changed along the x direction after receiving impulse from the wall.


Net impulse in x- direction=ΔPx
Jx=(Px)f(Px)i=(mvcos60 ^i)(mvcos60 ^i)
Jx=2mvcos60 ^i=2mv×12^i=mv ^i
|Jx|=mv
Hence wall has exerted impulse of value mv in a direction normal to wall.
