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).

Explanation:
<u>Electric Potential Due To Point Charges </u>
The electric potential produced from a point charge Q at a distance r from the charge is
The total electric potential for a system of point charges is equal to the sum of their individual potentials. This is a scalar sum, so direction is not relevant.
We must compute the total electric potential in the center of the square. We need to know the distance from all the corners to the center. The diagonal of the square is
where a is the length of the side.
The distance from any corner to the center is half the diagonal, thus
The total potential is
Where V1 and V2 are produced by the +4\mu C charges and V3 and V4 are produced by the two opposite charges of . Since all the distances are equal, and the charges producing V3 and V4 are opposite, V3 and V4 cancel each other. We only need to compute V1 or V2, since they are equal, but they won't cancel.
The total potential is
