The destination is 224 km from where the plane took off. Therefore correct option is (d).

First the plane turns 100 km North, and than 200 km East. Since both the directions are perpendicular to each other, therefore we can apply the Pythagoras theorem to calculate the distance between the destination and the point where plane took off

$D^{2}$ =100^{2}+200^{2}

D=223.60 km=224 km

Therefore, The destination is 224 km from where the plane took off
