Answer

10.36 km, 10.26 km, 0.10 km

Work Step by Step

The upper limit is the measurement + tolerance, that is, $$ 10.31 +0.05=10.36 \ km .$$ The lower limit is the measurement - tolerance, that is, $$ 10.31 -0.05=10.26 \ km .$$ The tolerance interval = upper limit-lower limit, that is, $$ 10.36 \ km-10.26 \ km=0.10 \ km .$$
