An aeroplane flies 400 m north and 300m south and then flies 1200 m upwards then net displacement is

A

1200 m

B

1300 m

C

1400 m

D

1500 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
An aeroplane flies 400 m north and 300 m south so the net displacement is 100 m towards north.
Then it flies 1200 m upwards so, `r=sqrt((100)^(2)+(1200)^(2))`
`=1204m ~= 1200 m`
The option should be 1204 m, because this value mislead one into thinking that net displacement is in upwards direction only.
