Since the linear momentum of the system must be conserved,

the total momentum finally after disintegration remains the same as that in the beginning Hence using the principle of conservation of momentum we get,
\mathrm{m}_{1} \mathrm{v}_{1}=\mathrm{m}_{2} \mathrm{~V}_{2}

\frac{\mathrm{V}_{1}}{\mathrm{~V}_{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{m}_{2}}{\mathrm{~m}_{1}}=\frac{\mathrm{r}_{2}{ }^{3}}{\mathrm{r}_{1}^{3}}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{r}_{2}}{\mathrm{r}_{1}}\right)^{3}
\frac{\mathrm{V}_{1}}{\mathrm{~V}_{2}}=\left(\frac{2^{\frac{1}{3}}}{1}\right)^{3}=\frac{2}{1}
\mathrm{n}=2
