<h2>5.3 km</h2>

Explanation:

       This question involves continuous displacement in various directions. When it becomes difficult to imagine, vector analysis becomes handy.

       Let us denote each of the individual displacements by a vector. Consider the unit vectors \vec{i}\textrm{ and }\vec{j} as the unit vectors in the direction of East and North respectively.

       By simple calculations, we can derive the unit vectors \vec{j},\frac{-\vec{i}-\vec{j}}{2}\textrm{ and }\frac{-\frac{1}{2}\vec{i}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\vec{j}}{2} in the directions North, 45^{o} South of West and 60^{o} North of West respectively.

       So Total displacement vector = Sum of individual displacement vectors.

       Displacement vector = 4(\vec{j})+6(\frac{-\vec{i}-\vec{j}}{2})+5(\frac{-\frac{1}{2}\vec{i}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\vec{j}}{2})=-4.25\vec{i}+3.165\vec{j}

       Magnitude of Displacement = |-4.25\vec{i}+3.165\vec{j}|=5.3km

∴ Total displacement = 5.3km
