$Assertion$ : If collision occurs between two elastic bodies their kinetic energy decreases during the time of collision.

$Reason$ : During collision intermolecular space decreases and hence elastic potential energy increases.

Two small particles of equal masses start moving in opposite directions from a point $A$ in a horizontal circular orbit. Their tangential velocities are $v$ and $2 v$, respectively, as shown in the figure. Between collisions, the particles move with constant speeds. After making how many elastic collisions, other than that at $A$, these two particles will again reach the point $A$ ?
