momentum P = mass M * velocity V
A) P = 4MV
B) P = 4M * 1/2V = 2MV
C) P = 2MV
D) P = 2M * 1/2V = MV

The answer is B. because assume that M=2 and V=2.
X = 2x2 = 4
Y=2X.
= 8
Y = 4M x 1/2V
= 4(2) x 1/2(2)
= 8 x 1
= 8

Calculate the momentum of Y by taking M*V.
Then cut your answer in half to find the momentum of X, since Y has twice the momentum.

B and C are correct

2 P(x) = P(Y)
2 MV = 4*1/2 MV
2 MV = 2 MV ----> (B) is right

2 P(x) = P(Y)
2 MV = 2M*V -----> (C) is right too.
