Let,  density constant

so,  mass directly proportional to  r3

so ,  m1 =  4/3 ∏r3ρ = m

       m2 =   4/3∏8r3ρ = 8m

now , momentum consurvation ,    mv = mv1+8mv2 ,  v1 +8v2 = v

                                                 0.5 = v2 - v1 / v ,  v2 - v1  = 0.5v

so,                                             9v2 = 1.5 v   ,    v2 = 1.5v / 9

                                                 v1 = 1.5v/9 - 0.5v = - 3v /9

v1/v2 = magnitude ratio  =  3v/1.5v   = 2
