Hello,
The formula for force when mass and acceleration are given is Force (F)= Mass (M)* Acceleration(A).
So the force required for accelerating 2kg mass at 5ms2 is
Force (F)= Mass (M)* Acceleration(A)
= 2*5
= 10N
The force required for accelerating 4kg mass at 2ms2 is
Force (F)= Mass (M)* Acceleration(A)
= 4*2
= 8N
So the force required for 2kg mass at 5ms2 is more than the force required for accelerating 4kg mass at 2ms2.
