Dear candidate, since it's elastic collision so by law of conservation of momentum -

mv0=mv2−mv1

12m(V1) ^2=0.36×12m(V0) ^2

v1=0.6v0

12m(V2)^ 2×0.64×12m(V0) ^2

V2=sqrt(mM) ×0.8V0

mV0=sqrt(mM)×0.8V0−m×0.6V0

⇒1.6m=0.8sqrt(mM)

4m^2=mM

Therefore the value of mass is 4

All the best

Hope this helps
