Two billiard balls of equal mass 30g strike a rigid wall with same speed of 108 kmph (as shown) but at different angles. If the balls get reflected with the same speed then the ratio of the magnitude of impulses imparted to ball 'a' and ball 'b' by the wall along 'X' direction is :
(Diagram shows ball 'a' hitting the wall perpendicularly along the x-axis and ball 'b' hitting the wall at a 45° angle to the x-axis.)

For ball (a): I? = Δp? = 2mu
For ball (b): I? = Δp? = 2mu cos 45°
I? /I? = 2mu / (2mu cos 45°) = √2
