Solution

The correct option is C Remains same
$F_{e x t e r n a l} = 0 ⟹ τ_{e x t e r n a l} = 0$
$\frac{d L}{d t} = τ_{e x t e r n a l} = 0 ⟹ L = c o n s t a n t$
Thus angular momentum $L$ is conserved about the center of mass just before and after the collision.

The angular momentum about the center of mass shortly before and after the collision

The correct option is C Remains sameFexternal=0⟹τexternal=0dLdt=τexternal=0⟹L=constant Thus angular momentum L is conserved about the center of mass just before and after the collision.

The correct option is C Remains same
$F_{e x t e r n a l} = 0 ⟹ τ_{e x t e r n a l} = 0$
$\frac{d L}{d t} = τ_{e x t e r n a l} = 0 ⟹ L = c o n s t a n t$
Thus angular momentum $L$ is conserved about the center of mass just before and after the collision.
