Detailed Solution

  • When two identical particles collide head-on in an elastic collision, their velocities are switched after the collision, with A coming to rest and B moving with velocity u.
  • The change in the rotational motion of the spheres is caused by friction force between their surfaces, which generates the requisite torque. 
  • As a result, A will continue to rotate with angular velocity w while B does not rotate since there is no friction between the surfaces of A and B, causing them to complete the same rotation as when they first started.

Hence the correct answer is A & C.
