The given situation can be represented as

Question Image

In the above figure, v1 is the speed of wind and v21 is the speed of butterfly with respect to wind.

So, v21 can be given as

v21=42cos45i^+42sin45j^=42×12i^+42×12j^=4i^+4j^

and v1 can be given as

v1=j^

 Velocity of butterfly can be given as

v2=v1+v21=4i^+4j^j^=4i^+3j^

 Displacement of butterfly, D=v2×t

                                                        =(4i^+3j^)×3=12i^+9j^

 Magnitude of displacement, |D|=122+92=15m
