Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$. Three identical spheres of same mass undergo one-dimensional motion as shown in the figure with initial velocities $v_{A} = 5 \ m/s$,$v_{B} = 2 \ m/s$,$v_{C} = 4 \ m/s$. If we wait sufficiently long for elastic collisions to happen,then $v_{A} = 4 \ m/s$,$v_{B} = 2 \ m/s$,$v_{C} = 5 \ m/s$ 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:
