here no external force is there
so linear momentum of the system is conserved
initially cart is at rest so COM of system is at rest.
according to law of conservation of linear momentum COM of system is rest during motion.
assume m1 is moving towards right and m2 is moving towards left
m1>m2 so cart is also moving towards left
assume cart moves distance x towards left
simplify and answer is
