  1. A tennis ball and a football can have equal kinetic energy if they have equal velocities
  2. A horse and a dog are running with the same speed; both have same kinetic energy
Which among the above statements is / are correct? (a) Only 1 is correct (b) Only 2 is correct (c) Both 1 & 2 are correct (d) Neither 1 nor 2 is correct 5.  The sum of two numbers is 528 and their HCF is 33.
