A person moves \(30 \mathrm{~m}\) North and then \(20 \mathrm{~m}\) towards East and finally \(30 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~m}\) in South-West direction. The displacement of the person from the origin will be

  1. A \(10 \mathrm{~m}\) along North
  2. B \(10 \mathrm{~m}\) along South
  3. C \(10 \mathrm{~m}\) along West
  4. D zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(10 \mathrm{~m}\) along West

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let us use the conventional directions, as shown in figure, to solve this problem. According to question, let us draw the diagram. There are two possible diagrams. Clearly, \(\quad C E=A B=30 \mathrm{~m} \Rightarrow C D=30 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~m}\) Using Pythagoras theorem,…
