Two billiard balls of equal mass $30 \, g$ strike a rigid wall with the same speed of $108 \, km/h$ (as shown) but at different angles. If the balls get reflected with the same speed, then the ratio of the magnitude of impulses imparted to ball $'a'$ and ball $'b'$ by the wall along the $'X'$ direction is:

  • A
    $1: 1$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}: 1$
  • C
    $1: \sqrt{2}$
  • D
    $2: 1$
