The question as text

Particles P of mass 0.4 kg and Q of mass 0.5 kg are free to move on a smooth horizontal plane. P and Q are moving directly towards each other with speeds 2.5 m s−1 and 1.5 m s−1 respectively. After P and Q collide, the speed of Q is twice the speed of P. Find the two possible values of the speed of P after the collision. [4]
