As a car travels in south-west direction for a distance of 100 km, the the displacement is: in North: -100/√2 km; in South:& 100/√2 km; in West: 100/√2 km.
After that car goes 200 km north-west, so the displacement is: in North:& 200/√2 km; in South: -200/√2 km; in West: 200/√2 km.
So, the total displacement is:
in North: (-100+200)/√2 km = 100/√2 km ≈& 70.7107 km; in South: (100-200)/√2 km& =-100/√2 km ≈ -70.7107 km; in West:& (100+200)/√2 km& = 300/√2 km ≈ 212.1320 km.
