$\\ \text{We know that, Kinetic energy}, \mathrm{K}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^{2}$ \\ multiply by m both side, $\mathrm{Km}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{m}^{2} \mathrm{v}^{2}$ or, $\mathrm{Km}=\frac{1}{2}(\mathrm{mv})^{2} \ldots \ldots \ldots(1)$ \\ Also, momentum, $\mathrm{p}=\mathrm{mv} \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots . .$ (2) \\ from (1) and $(2),$ we get, $\mathrm{Km}=\frac{1}{2}(\mathrm{p})^{2}$ or, $\mathrm{K}=\frac{\mathrm{p}^{2}}{2 \mathrm{m}}$$

According to the question, it is given that the mass is not changing.

$\begin{array}{l} K=\frac{p^{2}}{2 m} \Rightarrow \frac{\Delta K}{K}=2\left(\frac{\Delta P}{P}\right) \Rightarrow \frac{\Delta K}{K} \times 100=2\left(\frac{\Delta P}{P} \times 100\right) \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{\Delta K}{K} \times 100=2(10 \%) \Rightarrow \frac{\Delta K}{K} \times 100=20 \% \end{array}$
