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

Hence, correct answer is option B
