Which one of the following statement does not hold good when two balls of masses 
and 
undergo elastic collision
and 
at rest, there will be maximum transfer of momentum
and m 2 at rest, after collision the ball of mass m 2 moves with four times the velocity of m 1
and 
at rest, there will be maximum transfer of kinetic energy
at rest with 
after collision the balls move in opposite directions

(b, d)
We know that transfer of momentum will be maximum when target is massive and transfer of kinetic energy will be maximum when target and projectile are having same mass. It means statement and are correct, but statement and are incorrect because when target is very light, then after collision it will move with double the velocity of projectile and when collision is oblique and m 2 at rest with 
after collision the ball move perpendicular to each other.
