Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Body $P$ having mass $M$ moving with speed $u$ has a head-on elastic collision with another body $Q$ having mass $m$ initially at rest. If $m << M$,body $Q$ will have a maximum speed equal to $2u$ after the collision.
Reason $R$: During an elastic collision,the momentum and kinetic energy are both conserved.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

$A$ ball of mass $1 \ kg$ moving along the $X$-direction collides elastically with a stationary ball of mass $m$. The first ball (mass $= 1 \ kg$) recoils at a right angle to its original direction of motion. If the second ball starts moving at an angle $30^{\circ}$ with the $X$-axis,the value of $m$ must be (in $kg$)

Two identical balls $A$ and $B$ having velocities of $0.5 \, m s^{-1}$ and $-0.3 \, m s^{-1}$ respectively collide elastically in one dimension. The velocities of $B$ and $A$ after the collision respectively will be
