A person moves 30 m north and then 20 m towards east and finally 302, m in south-west direction. The displacement of the person from the origin will be

a
10 m along north
b
10 m long south
c
10 m along west
d
Zero

detailed solution

Correct option is C

From figure, OA→=0i^+30j^, AB→=20i^+0j^BC→=−302cos⁡45∘i^−302sin⁡45∘j^=−30i^−30j^∴ Net displacement, OC→=OA→+AB→+BC→=−10i^+0j^⇒|OC→|=10m Net displacement is 10m along west
