\begin{aligned} &\text{As, }\mathrm{E-W_0=\frac{1}{2} m v^2}\\ &\text{First case,}\quad \quad 2 \mathrm{~W}_0-\mathrm{W}_0 =\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}_1^2 \quad \quad \quad \quad(i)\\ &\text{Second case,}\quad \quad 5\mathrm{~W}_0-\mathrm{W}_0 =\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}_2^2 \quad \quad \quad \quad(ii)\\ &\text{Therefore, from eqs. (i) and (ii),}\\ &\frac{2 W_0-W_0}{5 W_0-W_0}=\frac{v_1^2}{v_2^2} \quad \text { or } \quad \frac{v_1}{v_2}=\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}
