Detailed Solution

If two particles are initially moving in the same direction, then their resultant momentum will not be zero. Therefore,their resultant momentum cannot be zero after a completely inelastic collision.As, kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the momentum, hence kinetic energy cannot be zero. This implies, not all the energy in inelastic collision is lost.Hence, both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
