$A$ shell of mass $M$ initially at rest suddenly explodes into three fragments. Two of these fragments are of mass $M/4$ each, which move with velocities $3 \text{ m/s}$ and $4 \text{ m/s}$ respectively in mutually perpendicular directions. The magnitude of the velocity of the third fragment is: (in $\text{ m/s}$)

  • A
    $3.0$
  • B
    $2.5$
  • C
    $1.5$
  • D
    $2.0$

An object of mass $2m$ is projected with a speed of $100 \ m/s$ at an angle $\theta = \sin^{-1}(3/5)$ to the horizontal. At the highest point, the object breaks into two pieces of same mass $m$ and the first one comes to rest. The distance between the point of projection and the point of landing of the second piece (in metres) is $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$.
