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.

The Earth moving round the Sun in a circular orbit is acted upon by a force, and hence work must be done on the Earth by this force. Do you agree with this statement?
The force on earth jn circular trajectory is gravity,acting radially inward...the direction of motion is tangential.....as u knw work is dot product of force and dx, the work done is zero.
