Let  a be the retardation for both the vehicles

For automobile \nu ^{2}= u^{2}-2\: as

\therefore u{_{1}}^{2}-2as= 0

\Rightarrow u{_{1}}^{2}=2as

Similarly for car, u{_{2}}^{2}=2as_{2}

\therefore \: \: \: \left ( \frac{u_{2}}{u_{1}} \right )^{2}= \frac{s_{2}}{s_{1}}\Rightarrow \left ( \frac{120}{60} \right )^{2}= \frac{s_{2}}{20}

or\: \: \: s_{2}= 80 m
