This question has Statement I and Statement II. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements.

Statement I: A point particle of mass mm moving with speed vv collides with stationary point particle of mass MM. If the maximum energy loss possible is given as f(12mv2)f\left(\frac12 mv^2\right) then f=MM+mf = \frac{M}{M+m}.

Statement II: Maximum energy loss occurs when the particles get stuck together as a result of the collision.
