The total distance traveled by the girl will be 40 meters and the displacement will be 30 meters.

What will be the distance and displacement of the girl?

Distance = total amount of path followed by any body called distance.

Displacement= The minimum distance between two points irrespective to the path followed by the body is displacement.

It is given that

Distance traveled to north direction = 10 metres

Distance traveled to south direction= 30 metres

So the path followed by the girl in total = North direction + south direction

                                                                 = 10+30

                                                                 = 40 meters

And the displacement  = min distance between History class and fountain

                                      = 30 meters

total distance traveled by the girl will be 40 meters and the displacement will be 30 meters.
