Kafka services aren't coming up - apache-kafka

Question

When I start the kafka services on my rhel machine,it fails & prints the following error.Nothing printed in logs aswell.
[root#node01 java]# systemctl start kafka
Job for kafka.service failed because a configured resource limit was exceeded. See "systemctl status kafka.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
I have cross verified these kafka configurations files to that of another machine with similar setup.It all looks fine.Also checked few online resources & nothing much turned out to be helpful.
Any thoughts?
Output of journalctl -xe are as follows:
