$A$ mass $M$ moving with a certain speed $V$ collides elastically with another stationary mass $m$. After the collision,the masses $M$ and $m$ move with speeds $V^{\prime}$ and $v$,respectively. All motion is in one dimension. Then,

  • A
    $V=V^{\prime}+v$
  • B
    $V^{\prime}=V+v$
  • C
    $V^{\prime}=\frac{(V+v)}{2}$
  • D
    $v=V+V^{\prime}$

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Body $P$ having mass $M$ moving with speed $u$ has a head-on elastic collision with another body $Q$ having mass $m$ initially at rest. If $m << M$,body $Q$ will have a maximum speed equal to $2u$ after the collision.
Reason $R$: During an elastic collision,the momentum and kinetic energy are both conserved.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
