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.

Options

AStatement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I
BStatement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement I
CStatement I is true, Statement II is false
DStatement I is false, Statement II is true

Correct answer

B. Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement I

Step-by-step solution

In case of elastic collision, coefficient of restitution

e=1

or relative speed of separation.

\therefore

Option (b) is correct.
