Let's split the problem into two parts, and let's solve it by using conservation of momentum.
1) Let's analyze the moment when the boy tosses the pumpkin. Before this moment, the boy is standing with the pumpkin, so with speed v=0 and therefore the total momentum of the system (boy+pumpkin) is zero.
After he tosses the pumpkin, the boy will start to move with speed
and the pumpkin starts to move with speed 
. The momentum of the boy is 
(with 
being the mass of the boy), while the momentum of the pumpkin is 
(where 
is the mass of the pumpkin). Since the total momentum must be equal to zero (because the total momentum cannot change), then we can write
From which we find
and this is the speed of the boy, and the negative sign means he's moving in the opposite direction of the pumpkin.
2) Now let's focus on the entire system (boy+pumpkin+girl). Initially, the total momentum of this system is zero, because both the boy (holding the pumpkin) and the girl are still. So, the total momentum after the girl catches the pumpkin must be still zero.
After this moment, the boy has a momentum of, while the girl has momentum 
where 
is the girl mass 
is the girl speed. Here we use 
because the girl is holding the pumpkin now. Therefore, the conservation of momentum becomes
and so
and this is the girl's speed, with positive sign so with same direction of the pumpkin initial direction.

Explanation:
First calculate the mass of the asteroid. To do so, you need to find the volume and know the density of iron.
If r = d/2 = 645ft, then:
In order to find force, use Newton's universal law of gravitation:
Where,
G= the gravitational constant:
Terminal speed=136.7 m/s
the formula for the terminal speed is given by :
V=
m= mass=75 kg
a= area=0.2 x 0.4=0.08 m²
ρ= density of air=1.23 kg/m³
C= drag constant =0.8
so V=
v= 136.7 m/s
