The momentum of a system of particles is always conserved true or false

The angular momentum of a system of particles is conserved:

Suppose we define a quantity Linear Momentum as linear momentum =mass x speed. The linear momentum of a system of particles is the sum of linear momentum of the individual particles. Can we state a principle of conservation of linear momentum as linear momentum of a system remains constant if no external force acts on it?

Consider the following two statements. (A) Linear momentum of a system of particles is zero (B) Kinetic energy of a system of particles is zero. Then.
