Statement I When a gun is fired, i.e. it placing pushes back with much less velocity than the velocity of the bullet.
Statement II Velocity of the recoiling gun is less because the gun is much heavier than bullet.
According to the Principle of conservation of momentum when the gun is fired, momentum of gun and bullet system remains constant.
A. Both the statements are individually true and statement II is the correct explanation of statement I
B. Both the statements are individually true but statement II is not the correct explanation of statement I
C. Statement I is true, but statement II is false
D. Statement I is false, but statement II is true
