Starting from rest on her swing at initial height $h_0$ above the ground,Saina swings forward. At the lowest point of her motion,she grabs her bag that lies on the ground. Saina continues swinging forward to reach maximum height $h_1$. She then swings backward and when reaching the lowest point of motion again,she simply lets go of the bag,which falls freely. Saina's backward swing then reaches maximum height $h_2$. Neglecting air resistance,how are the three heights related?

This question has Statement-$1$ and Statement-$2$. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement-$1$: $A$ point particle of mass $m$ moving with speed $u$ collides with a stationary point particle of mass $M$. If the maximum energy loss possible is given as $f \left( \frac{1}{2} m u^2 \right)$, then $f = \left( \frac{m}{M + m} \right)$.
Statement-$2$: Maximum energy loss occurs when the particles get stuck together as a result of the collision.

$A$ body of mass $2 \,kg$ is moving with a constant acceleration of $(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-\hat{k}) \,ms^{-2}$. If the displacement made by the body is $(3 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}) \,m$, then the work done is: (in $\,J$)

$A$ block of mass $5 \ kg$ is suspended by a light thread from an elevator. The elevator is accelerating upward with uniform acceleration $2 \ m/s^2$. The work done by tension on the block during the first $3 \ s$ is $(u = 0)$. (in $J$)

$A$ block of mass $m$ slides from rest at a height $H$ on a frictionless inclined plane as shown in the figure. It travels a distance $d$ across a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu$ and compresses a spring of spring constant $k$ by a distance $x$ before coming to rest momentarily. Then the spring extends and the block travels back attaining a final height of $h$. Then,
