The net displacement at a point on the string where the pulses cross is 0.2 m.
The term "displacement" refers to a shift in an object's position. It has a magnitude and a direction, making it a vector quantity. An arrow pointing from the starting point to the finishing point serves as its symbol.
A string that is connected to a post at one end is used to transmit a sequence of pulses, each measuring 0.1 meters in amplitude.
At the post, the pulses are reflected and return along the string without losing any of their amplitude.
Now, let's say the ends are free.
There is no inversion on reflection if the end is free. The amplitude at their intersection is 2A.
Now, since A = 0.1 m
Then, 2A = 2(0.1) = 0.2 m
As a result, the net displacement at the string's intersection of two pulses is 0.2 m.
The correct option is (c).

A 'displacement' always consists of a magnitude and a direction. The two cars you just described have displacements with the same magnitude ... 5 km. But if they didn't both drive in the same direction, then their displacements are different.
Remember:
-- 10 m/s² up and 10 m/s² down are different accelerations
-- 30 mph East and 30 mph West are the same speed but different velocity.
-- 5 km North and 5 km South are the same distance but different displacement.
