A body of mass $m_1$ moving with an unknown velocity of $v_1 \hat i$ undergoes a collinear collision with a body of mass $m_2$ moving with a velocity $v_2 \hat i$ . After collision $m_1$ and $m_2$ move with velocities of $v_3 \hat i$ and $v_4 \hat i$ respectively. If $m_2 = 0.5\, m_1$ and $v_3 = 0.5\, v_1$ then $v_1$ is:
