➠ Mass of 1st ball => m
➠ speed => v
➠ Mass of 2nd ball => m

➧ Let final velocities of 1st and 2ndball are v1 and v2 respectively.

➧ Using law of conservation of momentum,

m (v1 + v2) = mv
➠ v1 + v2 = V ..........①

➧ Also,

v1 - v2 = ev ..............②

➧ Given that,

➧ Final K.E = ¾ Initial K.E

➠ ½ mv1 ^2 + ½ mv2 ^2 = ¾ × ½

➠ v1 ^2 + v2 ^2 = ¾ v2

➠ (v1 + v2)^2 + (v1 - v2)^2 / 2 = 3/4 v2

➠ (1 + e^2) v^2 / 2 = 3/4

➠ 1 + e^2 = 3 / 2

➠ e^2 = 1 / 2

➠ e = 1 / √2...✔
