(a) 5m/s
(b) 10m/s
(c) 0m/s
(d) 14m/s
This question was posed to me during a job interview.
The doubt is from Motion in a Straight Line topic in chapter Motion in a Straight Line of Physics – Class 11

The correct option is (a) 5m/s
For explanation: The absolute velocity of the small block is the same as that of the block moving with 5m/s. This is because absolute velocity is studied with respect to the ground frame. The relative velocity of the small block with respect to the other block is zero.
