    The momenta of two particles of masses m and 2m are 2p and p respectively. The ratio of their kinetic energies will be

    A)  2 : 1             

    B)  4 : 1

    C)  1 : 8             

    D)  8 : 1

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     \[K=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=\frac{{{p}^{2}}}{2m}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{K}_{1}}}{{{K}_{2}}}={{\left( \frac{{{p}_{1}}}{{{p}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}.\left( \frac{{{m}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}} \right)\] \[\frac{{{K}_{1}}}{{{K}_{2}}}={{\left( \frac{2p}{p} \right)}^{2}}.\left( \frac{2m}{m} \right)=\frac{8}{1}\]
