Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
Elastic collision is defined as a collision where the kinetic energy of the system remains same. Both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in case of an elastic collision.
Inelastic collision is defined as a collision where kinetic energy of the system is not conserved whereas the linear momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy may due to the conversion to thermal energy or sound energy or may be due to the deformation of the materials colliding with each other.
As given in the problem, before the collision, total momentum of the system is 
and the kinetic energy is 
. After the collision, the total momentum of the system is , but the kinetic energy is reduced to 
. So some amount of kinetic energy is lost during the collision.
Therefor the situation describes an inelastic collision (and it could NOT be elastic).
During the internal examination, the pathologist drains the intestines, removes any undigested food and feces, and examines the contents of the stomach. This examination could give the pathologist clues of the time of death, and the location of death. The process of digesting and defecation vary from person to person, the entire process is generally considered to take approximately 40 hours in adults
