Detailed Solution
To find the relative velocity of bird w.r.t train, superimpose velocity−V→T on both the objects. Now as a result of it, the train is at rest,while bird posses two velocities −V→B towards N and −V→T along west.Where, −V→B = Velocity of bird −V→T = Velocity of train.|V→BT|=|V→B|2+|−V→T|2[By formula, ∴ θ=900 ]=402+402=402km/hr North−West
