Three identical spheres of same mass undergo one dimensional motion as shown in figure with initial velocities $v_{A}=5m/s$ , $v_{B}=2m/s$ , $v_{C}=4m/s$ . If we wait sufficiently long for elastic collision to happen, then $v_{A}=4m/s$ , $v_{B}=2m/s$ , $v_{C}=5m/s$ will be the final velocities.
Reason (R) : In an elastic collision between identical masses, two objects exchange their velocities.
