Detailed Solution

Both bodies cannot 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, then the momentum by direction is not conserved as the heavier body is till at rest.
