Calculate the distance travelled by the car, if a car travels `4km` towards north at an angle of `45^(@)` to the east and then travells a distance of `2km` towards north at an angle of `135^(@)` to the est.

A

6 km

B

8 km

C

5 km

D

2 km

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
As distance is a scalar quantity so the total distance travelled = 4 + 2 = 6 km.
