Three blocks A, B and C are lying on a smooth horizontal surface, as shown in the figure. A and B have equal masses, m while C has mass M. Block A is given an inital speed v towards B due to which it collides with B perfectly inelastically. The combined mass collides with C, also perfectly inelastically \frac{5}{6}^{th} of the initial kinetic energy is lost in whole process. What is value of M/m?

Inelastic Collision -

Law of conservation of momentum hold good but kinetic energy is not conserved

- wherein

\frac{1}{2}m_{1}u_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}u_{2}^{2}\neq \frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}= m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}

m_{1},m_{2}: masses

u_{1},v_{1}: initional \: and \: final\: velocities\: of \: mass \: m_{1}

u_{2},v_{2}: initional \: and \: final\: velocities\: of \: mass \: m_{2}
