Solution

Given : $m_{1} = 3 k g$ $m_{2} = 2 k g$ $u_{r e l} = 15 m / s$ $v_{r e l} = 5 m / s$
So, $e = \frac{v_{r e l}}{u_{r e l}} = \frac{5}{15} = \frac{1}{3}$
Loss in kinetic energy $Δ K . E = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{m_{1} + m_{2}}) (1 - e^{2}) (u_{r e l})^{2}$
Or $Δ K . E = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{3 \times 2}{3 + 2}) (1 - \frac{1}{3^{2}}) (15)^{2} = 120 J$
