Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

Velocity of bullet at highest point of its trajectory = 50  in horizontal direction.

As bullet of mass  collides with pendulum bob of mass 3  and two stick together, their common velocity

As now under this velocity  pendulum bob goes up to an angel 120 , hence

 or

Comparing two answer of , we get
