Correct Answer: 400 km west


Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –

Now, we have to find the distance from the starting point to the endpoint –

The distance from the starting point to the endpoint = 300 + 100 = 400 km

Therefore, the plane is in the west direction with respect to its starting point, and the distance between its starting point and final point is 400 km. Hence, the third option is correct.
