Detailed Solution

Initial momentum of the system                         = m1×40 + m2×0=40 m1Final momentum of the system                          =(m1 + m2) × 30By the law of conservation of momentum,             Initial momentum = Final momentum                           40m1 = (m1 + m2)30                40 m1- 30m1=30 m2⇒                         10 m1= 30 m2⇒                              m1m2=31
