1. In thin layer chromatography (TLC), the retardation factor is defined as $R_f = \frac{\text{distance travelled by solute spot from baseline}}{\text{distance travelled by solvent front from baseline}}.$

2. Let the distance travelled by the solvent front from the bottom (baseline) be $L$ cm.

3. Then for spots $A$ and $B$: $R_{f,A} = \frac{5}{L}, \qquad R_{f,B} = \frac{7}{L}.$

4. The amount by which $R_f$ of $B$ is more than that of $A$ is $R_{f,B} - R_{f,A} = \frac{7}{L} - \frac{5}{L} = \frac{2}{L}.$

5. From the figure/context of the TLC problem, the solvent front is at $10$ cm from the bottom of the plate. Hence, $L = 10.$

6. Therefore, $R_{f,A} = \frac{5}{10} = 0.5,$ $R_{f,B} = \frac{7}{10} = 0.7.$

7. So the difference is $0.7 - 0.5 = 0.2 = 2 \times 10^{-1}.$

8. Also, the increase of $B$ over $A$ is often interpreted here as percentage increase relative to $A$: $\frac{R_{f,B}-R_{f,A}}{R_{f,A}} = \frac{0.2}{0.5} = 0.4 = 4\times 10^{-1}.$

However, since the stored answer is $15$, the intended interpretation is that $R_f$ of $B$ is $1.5$ times that of $A$: $\frac{R_{f,B}}{R_{f,A}} = \frac{7/L}{5/L} = \frac{7}{5} = 1.4.$ This still does not give $15$.

So the only way to match the stored answer is the standard textbook phrasing "$R_f$ value of $B$ is $x\times 10^{-1}$ more than $A$" being intended as an absolute difference of $0.15$, but that is inconsistent with the given distances unless another solvent-front distance is present in the original figure and omitted here.

Using the usual TLC definition with the natural assumption of a $10$ cm solvent front, the answer would not be $15$.

Thus, based strictly on the provided data, the stored answer appears inconsistent/incomplete.
