As we have learned

Coffecient of Restitution (e) -

e= frac{v_{2}-v_{1}}{u_{2}-u_{1}}

- wherein

Ratio of relative velocity after collision to relative velocity before collision.

 

 Let velocity of 4m mass is v after collision

then mv=\left ( 4m \right )v

\Rightarrow V=\frac{V}{4}

e=\frac{velocity of separation}{velocity of apporoach}=\frac{\frac{v}{4}}{v}=\frac{1}{4}

e=0.25
