Answer 2

Hola User ______________

Actually this is totally realated to the Newtons third law of motion.....
It states that Evey action has an equal and opposite reaction acting on different bodies .....

So Actually here in the given case ......when the boy applies a force of 10 N on the opposite wall.....then the wall opposes the motion or force by applying the normal reaction on the boy opposite to itself......so actually wall also applies a force of 10N in the opposite direction (-) on the boy to resist its motion.....

Hope it helps u.............☺
