Solution

The correct option is C 15 m
Similar ro how we've discussed in the previous video, if a person walks 10 m to the right of a point taken as 0, the distance covered by him willl be +10 m. Now, if he walks another 5 m further to the right, he'll walk another +5 m. Now, he'd have travelled a distance of (+10 m)+(+5 m)=+15 m.
