momentum depends on mass (m) and velocity (v) of object

momentum (p) = m × v

we can get the same value of momentum (m) by different pair values of m and v, for example if a truch has more mass and less velocity and the bike has less mass but more velocity then there must be a case when their momentum is same.

correct answer

3-) One had less mass but greater velocity
