STATEMENT-1 : In a perfectly inelastic collision between two spheres, velocity of both spheres just after the collision are not always equal
STATEMENT-2 : For two spheres undergoing collision, component of velocities of both spheres along line of impact just after the collision will be equal if the collision is perfectly inelastic. The component of velocity of each sphere perpendicular to line of impact remains unchanged due to the impact.

From statement-2, if the component of relative velocity normal to line of impact is non-zero, they shall not have same velocity after collision. Hence statement-2 is correct explanation of statement-1.
