Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Cars will suffer more damage. As the much less massive car struck with the same force experiences greater acceleration. Thus, the car is not only stopped, but is also compelled to move in the reverse direction. This puts much greater stress on the structural frame of the car, which causes more damage to the car than to the truck.
