Momentum before collision,
\(
p_1=4 m v_1-2 m v_2
\)
Momentum after collision,
\(
p_2=6 m\left(-5 v_2\right)=-30 m v_2
\)
Conservation of momentum gives,
\(
\begin{gathered}
p_1=p_2 \\
\Rightarrow \quad 4 m v_1-2 m v_2=-30 m v_2 \quad \Rightarrow 4 v_1=-32 v_2 \\
\Rightarrow \quad \frac{v_1}{v_2}=\frac{-32}{4}=-8 \text { or }\left|\frac{v_1}{v_2}\right|=8
