You have to test it in your conditions, your data and your hardware.

Due to this lockdown we can't , So if anyone done this before,it would be very helpful for us.

With this settings:

DATA_RATE : 250 KBPS
POWER : MAX
AUTO ACK: FALSE

I had like max 40 meters in an open outside space. I was testing with a regular RF24 chip with the antena printed on the PCB (so it was not a PA/LNA version). I have also noticed that the location of the transmitter/receiver in the space has also meaning: when I rotated a bit the transmitter (or receiver), so the PCB antenna looks into a different angle then the reception of the signal was worse.

Thanks for the information @wmarkow
