Again, human 2 will have a bigger area and more air resistance. If you double the radius, the cross-sectional area will be four times as much (since area is proportional to radius squared). Now you see that the bigger human will have a greater terminal velocity.

Answer:

I know that terminal velocity equals to some multiple of radius square. What is the physics behind this relationship.

Is it just because as terminal velocity increases, the surface area increases? I would say that you have the cause and effect backwards.
