please say the solution​

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance=17 kms

Displacement=13.180 Kms

Answer 2

If you are talking about mental ability test then the distance and displacement will be same ie 10+5+2= 17 km.
If you are talking about physics then distance will be 17km and displacement will be
By Pythagorean’s theorm
H= under root of 144+25
Which will give us displacement = 13 km
