Solution

The correct option is C 14 m/s towards right
Along perpendicular to the mirror,
Velocity of the object w.r.t mirror = Velocity of the image w.r.t to mirror
vom=vim
vovm=(vivm)
102=(vi2)
[ taking rightward as + ]
vi=14 m/s
Hence, the velocity of image with respect to ground will be 14 m/s towards right.
