Explanation
It is given that two springs A and B are there.
Work done on first spring W1=12KAx21.........(1)
Work done on second spring W2=12KBx22..........(1)
Since, force is same F=KAx1=KBx2.........(3)
Taking ratios of equation (1) and (2)
Coefficient of restitution, e
e=-\dfrac{relative\,velocity\,of\,seperation}{relative\,velocity\,of\,appproach}
e=-\dfrac{4(-\hat{i})-4(+\hat{i})}{4\hat{i}-4(-\hat{i})}=1
Hence, coefficient of restitution is 1
