Momentum (p) = mv
If velocity is same
p ∝ m
pA / pB = (mA / mB)
= m / (4m)
= 1 / 4
∴ Ratio of their momentum is 1 : 4
If velocity is same
p ∝ m
pA / pB = (mA / mB)
= m / (4m)
= 1 / 4
∴ Ratio of their momentum is 1 : 4

Let momentum of A be p1 = m1v1
Let momentum of B be p2 = m2v2
The ratio of the momentum of A and B will be :
p1/p2 = m1v1/m2v2 = mv/4mv = 1/4
Ratio = 1 : 4.
Let momentum of B be p2 = m2v2
The ratio of the momentum of A and B will be :
p1/p2 = m1v1/m2v2 = mv/4mv = 1/4
Ratio = 1 : 4.
