Q.

Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Question Image
Three identical spheres of same mass undergo one dimensional motion as shown in figure with initial velocities vA=5m/s,vB=2m/s,vC=4m/s If we wait sufficiently long for elastic collision to happen, then vA=4m/s,vB=2m/s,vC=5m/s will be the final velocities.
Reason (R) : In an elastic collision between identical masses, two objects exchange their velocities.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
