Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion KE=p22m
For two bodies with same momentum, KE is inversely proportional to m
So, the assertion is correct
Also,KE=0.5×mv2
Thus, reason is also correct
But Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
