A body moves 6m north, 8m east and 10m vertically upwards, what is its resultant displacement from initial position

A

`10sqrt(2) m`

B

`10 m`

C

`(10)/(sqrt(2)) m`

D

`20 m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The situation is as shown in the figure
`OC=sqrt(AO^(2)+AB^(2)+BC^(2))`
`=sqrt(6^(2)+8^(2)+10^(2))=10sqrt(2)m`
