c) less than one..

K.E. = p2/2m

Since they both have same linear momentum..

The ratio of their K.E.s = mb/mr

Hence, the value is less than one..

@ashish .....
u cant say that the linear momentum of both bullet and gun are same but their sum is conseved.....and \comin to answer of the ques it is (c)in general if mass of bullet is greter than mass of gun.....

no harsha linear momenta will be same .as there momenta is equal but in opposite direction.then there sum will be zero.
