Which one of the following statements does not hold good when two balls of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ undergo elastic collision?

  • A
    When $m_1 < m_2$ and $m_2$ is at rest,there will be maximum transfer of momentum.
  • B
    When $m_1 > m_2$ and $m_2$ is at rest,after collision the ball of mass $m_2$ moves with four times the velocity of $m_1$.
  • C
    When $m_1 = m_2$ and $m_2$ is at rest,there will be maximum transfer of $K.E$.
  • D
    When the collision is oblique and $m_2$ is at rest with $m_1 = m_2$,after collision the balls move in opposite directions.

$A$ smooth sphere $A$ moves on a frictionless horizontal surface with an angular velocity $\omega$ and a linear velocity $v$ of its center of mass. It undergoes an elastic collision with another identical sphere $B$ at rest. Neglecting friction everywhere,if the angular speeds after the collision are $\omega_A$ and $\omega_B$ respectively,then:
