A particle of mass m strikes a wedge of ...

A particle of mass m strikes a wedge of mass M horizontally as shown in the figure.

Statement - 1 : If collision is perfectly inelastic then, it can be concluded that the particle sticks to the wedge.
Statement - 2 : In perfectly inelastic collision velocity of both bodies is same along common normal just after collision.

A

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.

B

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1.

C

Statement -1 is False, Statement-2 is True.

D

Statement -1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
