The correct answer is:
$\frac{v}{3}$
Ist case
$$
\begin{array}{l}
h v=h v_{0}+e V_{0} \\
\frac{h v}{2}=h v_{0}+\frac{e V_{0}}{4}
\end{array}
$$
Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
$$
v_{0}=\frac{v}{3}
$$
$$
\begin{array}{l}
h v=h v_{0}+e V_{0} \\
\frac{h v}{2}=h v_{0}+\frac{e V_{0}}{4}
\end{array}
$$
Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
$$
v_{0}=\frac{v}{3}
$$
