Problem

A footballer runs from point P(0 m,0 m)P(0\,\text{m},0\,\text{m}) to Q(10 m,0 m)Q(10\,\text{m},0\,\text{m}), then to R(10 m,5 m)R(10\,\text{m},5\,\text{m}), and finally to S(2 m,5 m)S(2\,\text{m},5\,\text{m}). Which of the following pairs gives the total distance covered and the magnitude of the displacement, respectively? a) 23 m,  9.4 m23\,\text{m},\;9.4\,\text{m} b) 22 m,  5.4 m22\,\text{m},\;5.4\,\text{m} c) 23 m,  5.4 m23\,\text{m},\;5.4\,\text{m} d) 23 m,  7.0 m23\,\text{m},\;7.0\,\text{m}
