Assertion $(A)$: In an elastic collision of two billiard balls,both kinetic energy and linear momentum remain conserved.
Reason $(R)$: During the collision of the balls,as the collision is elastic,there is no exchange of energy. Therefore,both energy and momentum are conserved.

    $(A)$ is true,$(R)$ is true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation for $(A)$
  • B
    $(A)$ is true,$(R)$ is true but $(R)$ is not the correct explanation for $(A)$
  • C
    $(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is false
  • D
    $(A)$ is false but $(R)$ is true

Two billiard balls undergo a head-on collision. Ball $1$ is twice as heavy as ball $2$. Initially,ball $1$ moves with a speed $v$ towards ball $2$ which is at rest. Immediately after the collision,ball $1$ travels at a speed of $v/3$ in the same direction. What type of collision has occurred?
