Solution

The correct option is B: $10 k m$
Monday to Friday $= 5$ days

Distance travelled by $A$ in $1$ day

Distance travelled by $B$ in $1$ day

Total distance travelled by $A$ in $5$ days
$= 2 \times 5 = 10 k m$

Total distance travelled by $B$ in $5$ days
$= 4 \times 5 = 20 k m$

So, $B$ travels $(20 - 10) k m = 10 k m$ more than $A$ from Monday to Friday.
