Question

Statement I: The principle of conservation of energy is valid for inelastic collision.
Statement II: The principle of conservation of energy holds good in both elastic and inelastic collisions. In case of inelastic collision kinetic energy before and after collision is not same

• A. If both statement I and statement II are true and statement II is the correct explanation of statement I.
• B. If both statement I and statement II are true but statement II is not the correct explanation of statement I.
• C. If statement I is true but statement II is false.
• D. If both statement I and statement II are false.

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

In case of inelastic collision, $KE$ is not conserved but conservation of energy holds good always
