14. Assertion : In elastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved.

Reason : Energy is always conserved.
(A) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
(B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
(C) If assertion is true but reason is false (D) If both assertion and reason are false
Answer: 2
Reason is correct because, the law of conservation of energy is always valid as long as all forms of energy are considered.
Assertion is also correct because in elastic collision, no permanent deformation of the colliding objects takes place. In an elastic
collision, the deormations are fully recovered. So no potential energy is stored in the form of deformation. In elastic collision,
kinetic energy of colliding bodies is not converted into other forms of energy (such as light, sound, heat, etc.). Thus, both assertion
and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation for assertion.

(D) Both the statements are false.
