Explanation / Answer

let the initially velocity is u; deaccleration is -a; distance skidded is S; 0-u2=-2aS;                         ...........................(1) now when initial speed is twice that is 2u; equation is -(2u)2=-2ax; solving these equation we get x=4S; It would have skidded 4 times fatther.
