This is not principle of conservation of energy but it is principle of conservation of momentum.

In case of isolated system it's write.

No. It is due to CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM and not conservation of energy. Extra Info - In higher classes when you will read about four-vectors (hence four-velocity, four-momentum etc) the law of conservation of emeren and law of conservation of momentum will be combined into one as law conservation...

ya, it is true but According to a principle of conservation of momentum

It's true. It is the cause of existence in the universe. Law of momentum.

It is applicable in terms of energy conservation when there is system is surrounded by adiabatic wall or collision will elastic otherwise this condition is universal for linear momentum conservation...

yes this is true momentum will conserve unless external force does not work.

A railway carriage of mass 9000 kg moving with a speed of 36 kmph collides with stationary carriage of the same mass. After the collision, the carriages get coupled and moved together. What is their common speed after collision? What type of collision is this?
The objects move together after the collision and have a common velocity. So it's a perfectly inelastic collision. To find the velocity we use Law of conservation of linear momentum. Given velocity v1=...
