Solution

The correct option is B
16 Km/h

As the jeep is moving with v km/h and the distance is equal to 10 km/h and it can be also be expressed as two kilometers more than half of the velocity i.e.

2 + $\frac{v}{2}$ = 10. Then check from the above options which of the following satisfies this equation, then you will find that v = 16 km/h satisfies the above equation.
