A particle has displacement of `12m` towards east and `5 m` towards north then `6 m` vertically upward. The sum of these displacements is-

A

12 m

B

10.04 m

C

14.31 m

D

23 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Displacement=`sqrt(12^(2)+5^(2)+6^(2))`
`=sqrt(144+25+36)=sqrt(205)=14.31 m`
