A body of mass m is moving in a circular orbit of radius R about a planet of mass M. At some instant, it splits into two equal masses. The first mass moves in a circular orbit of radius R/2 , and the other mass, in a circular orbit of radius {3R}/2.The difference between the final and initial total energies is [Main 15 April 2018 S1]
