velocity of the lighter ball = 0
the other three balls have equal velocities of = (v√2)/3
where v= velocity of the lighter ball
the three ballls travel at an angle of 120° to each other
this cancels out total momentum in the plane ( it was initially zero)

Hey I solved it and got the same result.
here the other three balls will be moving symmitrically about the x-xis making an angle of pi/4 with it so 3cos(pi/4)vf=vi am i thinking right nishant

actually vibhav i got that they will be travelling at an angle of 120° to each other
and the got the final velocity by working on a pyramid and applying some trigonometry!!
and some physics of course!!
