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.
