Q. Maximum energy transfer for an elastic collision will occur if one body is at rest when

AIIMSAIIMS 2001Work, Energy and Power

Solution:

During elastic collision between two equal masses, the velocity of the two bodies get interchanged. So if one body is at rest, energy transfer will be maximum for $m_1 = m_2$.
