Since there is no external force acting on the body. The total linear momentum is conserved.

As the lighter fragments are moving perpendicularly to each other.

The heavier fragment will move in the opposite direction of the resultant momentum of the lighter fragments.

0= m 5 (30 2 )+ 3m 5 VV=10 2 m s 1    

If we assume the lighter fragments are moving along east and north directions, the heavier fragment will move along south-west. 

So it makes 135o with each of the other fragments.
