NEET Physics Question - Laws of Motion - Linear Momentum and Second Law of Motion

Consider the following two statements: (A) Linear momentum of a system of particles is zero (B) Kinetic energy of a system of particles is zero Then:

A does not imply B and B does not imply A

A implies B but B does not imply A

A does not imply B but B implies A

A implies B and B implies A

Solution:

When kinetic energy of the system is zero, speed of objects will be zero so momentum will always be zero.

Whereas momentum being a vector quantity may be zero when directions of velocities cancel each other. so speed and kinetic energy may of may not be zero when momentum is zero
