Detailed Solution

Using work-energy theorem, Wtotal  = ΔK
i.e, work done by stopping forces should be equal to change in the kinetic energy of the car.
  -Fstopping xstoppingdistance=(kfinal-kinitial)
   -Fstopping x S= 012mv2initial
 -Fstopping x S =12mv2initial  
As stopping force is same for both the cars, hence
Sαv2  initial =>Hence ,  S1S2=(v2initial)1(v2initial)2
Or  6S2=(v2initial)1(v2initial)2=(50100)2S2=24m
