A ball of mass 0.2 kg rests on a vertical post of height 5 m. A bullet of mass 0.01 kg, travelling with a velocity V m s-1 in a horizontal direction, hits the centre of the ball. After the collision, the ball and bullet travel independently. The ball hits the ground at a distance of 20 m and the bullet at a distance of 100 m from the foot of the post. The initial velocity V of the bullet is

This question has Statement - I and Statement - II  of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements.

Statement - I: A point particle of mass m moving with speed ν collides with stationary point particle of mass M. If the maximum energy loss possible is given as
f12mν2 then f=mM+m.

Statement - II: Maximum energy loss occurs when the particles get stuck together as a result of the collision.

Three blocks A, B and C are lying on a smooth horizontal surface, as shown in the figure. A and B have equal masses, m and C has mass M. Block A is given an initial speed v towards B due to which it collides with B perfectly inelastically. The combined mass collides with C, also perfectly inelastically. 56th of the initial kinetic energy is lost in the whole process. What is value of Mm ?
