We need to write down momentum and energy conservation laws, this will give us a system of equation that we can solve to get our final answer. On the right-hand side, I will write term after the collision and on the left-hand side, I will write terms before the collision.
Let's start with energy conservation law:
This equation tells us that kinetic energy of two carts before the collision and 3 quarters of explosion energy is beign transfered to kinetic energy of the cart after the collision.
Let's write down momentum conservation law:
Because both carts have the same mass we can cancel those out:
Now we have our system of equation that we have to solve:
Part A
We need to solve our system for
. We will solve second equation for 
and then plug that in the first equation.
Now we have to plug this in the first equation:
We will multiply the first equation with 2 and divide by m:
Now we plug in the second equation into first one:
We end up with quadratic equation that we have to solve, I won't solve it by hand.
Coefficients are:
Solutions are:
Part B
We do the same thing here, but we must express from momentum equation:
Now we plug this into our energy conservation equation:
Again we end up with quadratic equation. Coefficients are:
Solutions are:

Answer:
Distance is 5.0 km and displacement is 0 km.
Explanation:
The diagram is shown below.
Distance is the total length that the truck covers along the complete journey. The truck moves from a stone quarry covering a length of 2.5 km and then again come back to the same point and thus covering another 2.5 km. Therefore, the total length covered by the truck is the sum of forward and backward paths which is equal to 5.0 km.
Now, displacement depends only on the initial and final position. It is given as the difference of final position and initial position. So, the truck starts from stone quarry and returns back to the same position. So, the initial position and final position is same. Therefore, the difference is 0 and hence displacement is zero.
