Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$ and identify the correct answer:
$A$. In an elastic collision,if a body suffers a head-on collision with another of the same mass at rest,then the first body comes to rest while the other starts moving with the velocity of the first one.
$B$. Two bodies of equal mass suffering a head-on elastic collision merely exchange their velocities.
$A$. In an elastic collision,if a body suffers a head-on collision with another of the same mass at rest,then the first body comes to rest while the other starts moving with the velocity of the first one.
$B$. Two bodies of equal mass suffering a head-on elastic collision merely exchange their velocities.

On a horizontal smooth surface,a disc of radius $r$ is placed at rest. Another disc of the same mass is moving towards it with an impact parameter equal to its own radius. What should be the radius of the incoming disc so that after the collision,the first disc moves at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ to the direction of motion of the incoming disc?
