In the given figure a ball strikes a rod at its end elastically and rod is hinged smoothly at point A. Then which of the statement(s) is/are correct (regarding just before and after the collision)
Linear momentum of system (ball + rod) is not conserved
Angular momentum of system (ball + rod) about hinged point A is conserved
Angular momentum of system is conserved about A as torque about A is zero. Linear momentum is not conserved as there is an impulse applied at A.
