Q10 of 119 Page 158

A body moving towards a finite body at rest collides with it. It is possible that

In case of A and D, conservation of momentum will be broken so, it can’t be true. In inelastic collision, bodies may share the momentum, hence B can be true. In elastic collision, case C will happen. Hence, B and C are correct.
