Hi Sayani,

The balls are kept on the floor of a moving train.

So, when brakes are applied, the balls will start moving in the forward direction due to inertia of motion.

Since, friction is same, both of them will get the same force of push.

So, the acceleration of heavy ball will be less as a = F/m

Hence, light tennis ball will attain higher velocity.
