Solution

The correct option is C West
Since we know that forces acting in the same direction add to one another. When his friend applies force in the same direction( West direction) then the forces applied by Nikhil and his friend will add to one another.

So, the net magnitude of force will increase. The increase in the magnitude of the force will increase the speed of the box. Thus, the box will move faster than before.
