Correct Answer: 15 km
Solution : Let the distance between his house and school be $x$ km. Given, the time taken to cover $x$ km at an average speed of 15 km/hr – Time taken to cover $x$ km at an average speed of 20 km/hr = 15 minutes So, $\frac{x}{15}-\frac{x}{20}=\frac{15}{60}$ $⇒\frac{x}{60}=\frac{15}{60}$ $\therefore x=15$ km Hence, the correct answer is 15 km.
