The correct Answer is:
To find the relative speed of two bodies moving away from each other, follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Speeds of the Two Bodies**: - The first body is moving at a speed of 10 km/h. - The second body is moving at a speed of 5 km/h. 2. **Understand the Concept of Relative Speed**: - When two bodies are moving away from each other, their relative speed is the sum of their individual speeds. 3. **Calculate the Relative Speed**: - Add the speeds of both bodies: \[ \text{Relative Speed} = \text{Speed of Body 1} + \text{Speed of Body 2} \] - Substitute the values: \[ \text{Relative Speed} = 10 \text{ km/h} + 5 \text{ km/h} = 15 \text{ km/h} \] 4. **Conclusion**: - The relative speed of the two bodies moving away from each other is 15 km/h. ### Final Answer: The relative speed is **15 km/h**. ---
