For the set of all Lorentz transformations with velocities along the \( x \)-axis, consider the two statements given below:
P: If \( L \) is a Lorentz transformation then, \( L^{-1} \) is also a Lorentz transformation.
Q: If \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \) are Lorentz transformations, then \( L_1L_2 \) is necessarily a Lorentz transformation.
