Solution

The correct option is C ${E_{K}}^{'} < E_{K}$
When two similar balls collide, they exchange energies depending on the collision.
If head on, then complete exchange, if obligue then partially.
Here, second ball is at rest. Thus, There is transfer of energy from first to second.
Thus first ball loses energy.
