In 1st case there will not be any change in the speed of cart because momentum of boy is unchanged after jumping..
 
In 2nd case we will conserve momentum,   2 x (60+20) = 20 x v  => v = 8m/s..
 
In 3rd case we will again conserve momentum , 2 x (60+20)=60 x 4 + 20 x v  => v= -4m/s.. here negative sign shows the direction will be opposite to the initial direction...
