using law of conservation of momentum we conclude that :
the recoil velocity of the gun or rifle is = mass of the bullet * final velocity of the bullet / mass of the gun..
if the take the forward direction of the bullet as positive then the recoil velocity of the gun is negative and vice versa.
NOW USING THIS FORMULA:
200kg * 100 m per second / 2 =10000 m/s [ans]
