Answer Key / Explanation : (b) -

(b)

Let the initial mass of body

Initial linear momentum          …(i)

When it breaks into equal masses then one of the fragment retrace back with same velocity

 Final linear momentum         …(ii)

By the conservation of linear momentum

., other fragment moves with velocity  in forward direction
