The steps in collision
Question

Assertion : In an elastic collision of two bodies, the momentum and energy of each body is conserved.

Reason : If two bodies stick to each other after colliding, the collision is said to be perfectly elastic.

Easy
Solution

In an elastic collision both the momentum and kinetic energy remains conserved. This rule is not for individual bodies but for the centre of mass of the system of bodies before and after the collision.
