$A$ car travels $6 \, km$ at an angle of $45^o$ north of east and then travels a distance of $4 \, km$ at an angle of $135^o$ north of east. How far is the final point from the starting point? What angle does the straight line joining its initial and final position make with the east direction?

  • A
    $\sqrt{50} \, km$ and $\tan^{-1}(5)$
  • B
    $10 \, km$ and $\tan^{-1}(\sqrt{5})$
  • C
    $\sqrt{52} \, km$ and $\tan^{-1}(5)$
  • D
    $\sqrt{52} \, km$ and $\tan^{-1}(\sqrt{5})$
