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 head – on collision elastically with another body 'Q' having mass 'm' initially at rest. If m << M, Body 'Q' will have a maximum speed equal to '2u' after collision.
Reason R : During 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

Mass m will acquire velocity 2u. Total momentum of system will be conserved but total kinetic energy is not conserved during collision.
