Answer: 3

Explanation:

Given

One cloud is traveling at rate of u_2=1\ m/s

combined velocity of the two is v=0.25\ m/s

Suppose the masses of the clouds be m_1,m_2

Conserving momentum

\Rightarrow m_1u_1+m_2u_2=\left(m_1+m_2\right)v\\\text{Divide whole equation by }m_2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}u_1+u_2=\left(\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}+1\right)v\\\\\Rightarrow 0+1=0.25\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}+0.25\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=\dfrac{0.75}{0.25}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=3
