A body of mass 5 kg explodes at rest into three fragments with masses in the ratio 1: 1: 3. The fragments with equal masses fly in mutually perpendicular directions with speeds of 21 m/s. The velocity of heaviest fragment in m/s will be (a) 7 sqrt2 (b) 5 sqrt2 (c) 3 sqrt2 ( d) sqrt2

(a)

Masses of the pieces are 1, 1,3 kg.  Hence    

(1 × 21)2 + (1 × 21)2 = (3 × V)2

That is, V = 7sqrt2
