Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Balls will start rolling in the direction in which the train was moving. The train stops when the brakes are applied, but the balls try to continue moving owing to inertia, thus they start to roll. The inertial forces on the two balls are not equal because the masses of the balls are different. As a result, the balls will move at various speeds.
