Statement I: In an elastic collision bet...

Statement I: In an elastic collision between two bodies, the relative speed of the bodies after collision is equal to the relative speed before the collision.
Statement II: In an elastic collision, the linear momentum of the system is conserved.

A

Statement-I is True, Statement-II is True and Statement-II is a correct explanation for Statement-I.

B

Statement-I is True, Statement-II is True and Statement-II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-I.

C

Statement-I is True, Statement-II is False.

D

Statement-I is False, Statement-II is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Reason for statement-I is kinetic energy conservation. Momentum is conserved in all collisions, not only elastic collision.
