a
zero
b
28 m towards south
c
10 m towards west
d
15 m towards east

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Resolving displacement 302 south-west into two rectangular components, we getDisplacement = 302 cos450 = 302 ×(12) = 30 m∴Effective displacement due to 30 m north and 30 m south is zero.Also effective displacement due to 30 m east and 30 m west is zero.
