If Fave is constant and F = m * a, then a greater mass will have a smaller acceleration and a smaller mass will have a greater acceleration.
Since a = dv/dt, and the dt is constant, the one with the greater mass and the smaller acceleration will have a smaller dv. The one with the smaller mass and greater acceleration will have a greater dv (i.e., a greater acceleration multiplied by a constant will yield a greater result than the smaller acceleration multiplied by the constant).

Very good work. You didn't insert your answers in to a copy of the question, and should remember to do so. No problem for me in this case; I know the question from your answers, but your posted work will make more sense to you if the questions are included. And sometimes I don't recall all the details of the question.
