detailed solution

Correct option is B

Let v→′be velocity of third piece of mass 2 m. Initial momentum, p→i=0(As the body is at rest)Final momentum, p→f=mvı^+mvȷ^+2mv→′ According to law of conservation of momentum p→i=p→f0=mvi^+mvj^+2mv→′v→′=−v2i^−v2j^ The magnitude of v→′ is v'=−v22+−v22=v2 Total kinetic energy generated due to explosion =12mv2+12mv2+12(2m)v′2=12mv2+12mv2+12(2m)v22=mv2+mv22=32mv2
