Detailed Solution

Speed of bomb after 5 seconds,

v=ugt=10010×5=50m/s

Momentum of 400g fragment

=4001000×(25) (downward)

Momentum of 600g fragment =6001000v

Momentum of bomb just before explosion = 1×50=50

From conservation of momentum

Total momentum just before collision = Total momentum just after collision

50=4001000×25+6001000v

v=100m/s  (upward)
