Question
A particle of mass 'm' strikes a wedge of mass 'M' horizontally as shown in the figure.
STATEMENT-1 : If the collision is perfectly inelastic then, it can be concluded that the particle sticks to the wedge.
STATEMENT-2 : In perfectly inelastic collision velocity of both bodies is same along common normal just after the collision.

Solution
The correct option is B Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1.
In perfectly inelastic collision velocity of both body is same along common normal. But in this case mass m is stuck on m due to an inclination of AB surface if AB is not inclined both moves with same speed only.
