Statement $(I)$: The slope of the kinetic energy-displacement curve of a body in motion is directly proportional to its acceleration.
Statement $(II)$: From a height of $15 \ m$, a ball is projected vertically upwards with a velocity of $30 \ m/s$. If the ball rises to the same height after hitting the ground, the loss of its energy on hitting the ground is $30 \%$.
Statement $(III)$: The velocity acquired by a body of mass '$m$' after travelling a fixed distance from rest under the action of a constant force is directly proportional to mass '$m$'.
Which of the following is correct?

$A$ ball of mass $m$ moves with speed $v$ and strikes a wall having infinite mass and it returns with the same speed. Then the work done by the ball on the wall is:
