A body at rest explodes into two pieces of unequal mass. The parts will move

A buggy of mass $100\, kg$ is free to move on a frictionless horizontal track. Two men, each of mass $50\, kg$, are standing on the buggy, which is initially stationary. The men jump off the buggy with velocity $=10m/s$ relative to the buggy. In one situation, the men jump one after the other. In another situation, the men jump simultaneously. What is the ratio of the recoil velocities of the buggy in two cases?

A spring is compressed between two toy carts of mass $m_1$ and $m_2$. When the toy carts are released, the springs exert equal and opposite average forces for the same time on each toy cart. If $v_1$ and $v_2$ are the velocities of the toy carts and there is no friction between the toy carts and the ground, then :
