As we learnt in 

Law of Conservation of Momentum -

 vec{F}=frac{vec{dp}}{dt}

vec{F}=0            then vec{p}=constant

vec{p}=vec{p}_{1}+vec{p}_{2}+cdots =const

- wherein

ast Independent of frame of reference

 

 

After doing components,

V_{1}= V \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}\hat{i}-V\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}\hat {j}

V_{2}= -V \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}\hat{i}-V\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}\hat {j}

Impulse = mV_{1}-mV_{2}=mV  


Option 1)

Option 2)

Option 3)

\frac{2}
