Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

Since, linear momentum is conserved

Angular momentum is also conserved

Where  is the moment of inertia of the rod about the axis of rotation

Since, collision is completely elastic , kinetic energy is also conserved .Thus,

From Eqs. (i)and (ii),We get

Putting this value in Eq. (iii),we get
