Solution

The correct option is B 36% decreased
Let, mass of the body be m
and the initial and final linear momentum are P1 and P2
According to the question,
P2=80 % of P1
P2=810P1
mV2=810mV1
V2=810V1
Squaring both sides
V21=64100V21
12mV22=64100(12mV21)
K2=64100K1
ΔK=K1K2
ΔK=K164100K1=36100K1
Thus kinetic energy of body is decreased by 36%
