| Assertion (A): | Three identical spheres of same mass undergo one dimensional motion as shown in figure with initial velocities \(v_A=5 ~\text{m/s}, v_B=2~\text{m/s}, v_C=4 ~\text{m/s}. ~\) If we wait sufficiently long for elastic collision to happen, then \(v_A=4 ~\text{m/s}, v_B=2~\text{m/s}, v_C=5~\text{m/s}\) will be the final velocities. |
| Reason (R): | In an elastic collision between identical masses, two objects exchange their velocities. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |

| Assertion (A): | In a central force field, the work done is independent of the path chosen. |
| Reason (R): | Every force encountered in mechanics does not have an associated potential energy. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) |
| 2. | (A) is false, but (R) is true |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
| 4. | (A) is true, but (R) is false |
