Detailed Solution

Both bodies can not come to rest as it violates conservation of momentum

both of them starts moving is possible but total momentum of  the system must be equal to momentum of the colliding body.

for perfectly elastic collision of equal masses they exchange their velocities.

If stationary body rebounds the then the momentum by direction  is not conserved as the heavier body is still at rest.
