In two separate collisions,the coefficients of restitution $e_1$ and $e_2$ are in the ratio $3: 1$. In the first collision,the relative velocity of approach is twice the relative velocity of separation. Then,the ratio between the relative velocity of approach and the relative velocity of separation in the second collision is:

$A$ ball of mass $2m$ is moving with velocity $v$ on a smooth surface and collides elastically head-on with another ball of mass $m$ which is at rest. If the ball of mass $m$ reaches up to the top of a frictionless elevated plane of height $h$,then the velocity $v$ of the heavy ball must be
