Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1: \sqrt{3}: 2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{KE}=\frac{\mathrm{P}^2}{2 \mathrm{~m}}\)

\(\mathrm{P} \propto \sqrt{\mathrm{m}}\)

\(\text { Hence, } \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{A}}: \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{B}}: \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{C}}\)

\(=\sqrt{400}: \sqrt{1200}: \sqrt{1600}=1: \sqrt{3}: 2\)
