$Assertion$ : If collision occurs between two elastic bodies,their kinetic energy decreases during the time of collision.
$Reason$ : During collision,intermolecular space decreases and hence elastic potential energy increases.

  • A
    If both $Assertion$ and $Reason$ are correct and the $Reason$ is a correct explanation of the $Assertion$.
  • B
    If both $Assertion$ and $Reason$ are correct but $Reason$ is not a correct explanation of the $Assertion$.
  • C
    If the $Assertion$ is correct but $Reason$ is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the $Assertion$ and $Reason$ are incorrect.
