As we discussed in

Perfectly Inelastic Collision -

v= \frac{m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}

- wherein

Two bodies stick together after the collision ,so there will be a final common velocity (v)

m_{1},m_{2}= masses

v_{1}=\: initial \: velocity \: mass\: m_{1}

v_{2}=\: initial \: velocity \: mass\: m_{2}

 

 30,000\times 4=31,000v

v=\frac{120000}{31000} = 3.87 ms^{-1}


Option 1)

7.01 m/s.

Option 2)

6.55 m/s.

Incorrect

Option 3)

5.02 m/s.

Incorrect

Option 4)
