ASSERTION- One end of ideal massless spring is connected to fixed vertical wall and other end to a block of mass m initially at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. The spring is initially in natural length. Now a horizontal force F acts on the block. Then the maximum extension in spring is equal to maximum compression in spring. REASON- To compress or to expand an unstretched spring by equal amount , same work is done on spring
