Six identical balls are lined up in a straight groove on a horizontal frictionless surface. Two similar balls,each moving with a velocity $v$,collide elastically with the row of $6$ balls from the left. What will happen?

  • A
    One ball from the right rolls out with a speed $2v$ and the remaining balls will remain at rest.
  • B
    Two balls from the right roll out with speed $v$ each and the remaining balls will remain stationary.
  • C
    All the six balls in the row will roll out with speed $v/6$ each and the two colliding balls will come to rest.
  • D
    The colliding balls will come to rest and no ball rolls out from the right.

It is found that if a neutron suffers an elastic collinear collision with deuterium at rest,the fractional loss of its energy is $P_d$; while for its similar collision with a carbon nucleus at rest,the fractional loss of energy is $P_c$. The values of $P_d$ and $P_c$ are respectively:
