Options:
  • A Both A and R are true and R is a correct explanation for A.
  • B Both A and R are true but R is not a correct explanation for A.
  • C A is true but R is false.
  • D Both A and R is false.

The correct answer is: Both A and R is false.
In an elastic collision of two billiard balls, there is deformation in shape of balls momentarily. During the collision potential energy
increases due to deformation of balls and kinetic energy decreases. Hence, total energy remains constant but kinetic energy is not conserved.

Law of conservation of energy always applies, in
every case.

Thus, both Assertion and Reason are false.
