Friction force on first car is = mg

acceleration due to friction force on first car = m = g

Friction force on second car is = m2g

Both acceleration are same & both initial speed are same (Given).

So we can say that F >f, So net horizontal force is nonzero.
(b) F > f, Net horizontal force is zero.
(c) FN > f Fn > Fn  <1
Here not given the relation between F & f so we can't say that net horizontal force is zero or nonzero.
