first of all we have to see that the dec in momentum is only due dec in velocity(mass is constant)
let mass be m nd original vel be v
v' be the changed velocity
mv=x
mv'=9x10
so vv'=910

% dec in KE=12mv2 -12mv'212mv2 into 100

12 and m get cancelled
we are left with v2-v'2v2 into 100
so the answer turns out be 102 -92102 into 100
which is 19%
