Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 3 : 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( (KE)_{A}=K=\frac{1}{2}mu^{2} \)
\(( KE )_{ B }=\frac{ K }{4}=\frac{1}{2} m\left(\frac{ u }{2}\right)^2=\frac{ K }{4}\left( u _{ B }= u \cos 60^{\circ}=\frac{ u }{2}\right)\)
\( (KE)_{C}=K \)
Ratio \(= \frac{K-K/4}{K} \)
\(=\frac{3 K / 4}{K}=\frac{3}{4}\)
