m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1 + m2)v -> Find v.

initial KE = 1/2(m1(u1^2)) + 1/2(m2u2^2) Final KE = 1/2(m1 + m2)v^2, substitute v from momentum eqn.

Initial KE - final KE = the required solution.

For inelastic bodies, e=0.

The loss in Kinetic energy during elastic impact is.

E = m1'm2' (u1-u2) ^2' (1-e^2) /2 (m1+m2).

So here e =0 so answer is A.

For inelastic bodies "e" value varies from 0 and 1.
