Consider a collision between an argon molecule and a nitrogen molecule in a mixture of argon and nitrogen kept at room temperature. Which of the following are possible ?   

Options

A.The kinetic energies of both the molecules decrease.   
B.The kinetic energies of both the molecules increase
C.The kinetic energy of the argon molecule increases and that of the nitrogen molecules decrease.
