Answer:
Let us analyse these two cases by assuming the mass of the lighter body to be m and heavier body to be M. If p and P are the momentums of the lighter and heavier bodies respectively, then their kinetic energies may be expressed as:
2mp2=2MP2
or, Pp=Mm
or, p=PMm and P=pmM
Thus from these equations we can conclude that the heavier mass, M has greater momentum P.
