The correct answer is: $3.313 \times 10^{-24} \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}^{-1}$
Given, $h=6.626 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J}-\mathrm{s}$
$m=9.1 \times 10^{-35} \mathrm{~kg}$ Wavelength, $\lambda=2 Å$ $=2 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}$ $\therefore$ Momentum of electron is given as $$ \begin{aligned} p &=\frac{h}{\lambda} \\ &=\frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{2 \times 10^{-10}}=3.313 \times 10^{-24} \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{ms}^{-1} \end{aligned} $$
