at 2s for first ball,
h = 5*2 + 0.5g*4 = > 30 meter.
and v = 5 + 10*2 = > 25 m/s
after further 2 seconds,
x= 25*2 + 0.5*g*4 = > 70 meter.
total distance it covered, => 70 + 30 => 100 meter.
for second ball,
100 = u*4 + 0.5g*16
4u = 100 – 80 = 20
4u = 20
u = 5 m/s

Edit:
the second ball needs to cover that 100 m distance in 2 seconds not in 4.
Therefore,
100 = u*2 + 0.5*g*4
u = 40 m/s
