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
=100^{2}+200^{2}
D=223.60 km=224 km
Therefore, The destination is 224 km from where the plane took off

Explanation: Velocity is the displacement of an object during a specific unit of time. Two measurements are needed to determine velocity. Displacement and time. Displacement includes a direction, so velocity also includes a direction. Speed with direction. Velocity can be an average velocity or an instantaneous velocity. Units for velocity are the same as for speed: m/s, km/h, and mph. Delta x(Δx) is the symbol used for displacement. Delta (Δ) means to "change in." Δx means to "change in position." Δx is calculated by final position minus initial position. Velocity formula: → v=Δx/t as a fraction.
v=Δx/t
<em><u>Final answer is 30.</u></em>
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
