MCQ
This question has statement ${\rm I}$ and statement ${\rm I}$${\rm I}$. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement - ${\rm I}$: A point particle of mass $m$ moving with speed $\upsilon $ collides with stationary point particle of mass $M.$ If the maximum energy loss possible is given as $f\left( {{1 \over 2}m{v^2}} \right)$, then $f = \left( {{m \over {M + m}}} \right).$
Statement - ${\rm II}$: Maximum energy loss occurs when the particles get stuck together as a result of the collision.
