Answer:

No, it is not necessary for them to have same mass.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let both bodies have a density d1 and d2 respectively.

Since their volumes are equal V1 = V2

we know that,
image

Hence, d1 = and d2 =

Taking the ratio of densities,we get

This implies that unless the bodies have same densities, the mass of the two bodies will not be same.
