Solution

Step 1.Make same unit.
Distance travel by Mohit towards north $= 8 k m 425 m$
$= 8 k m + 425 m = 8 + 0.425 [S i n c e 1 m = 0.001 k m] = 8.425 k m$
Distance travel by Mohit towards south $= 13 k m 210 m$
$= 13 k m + 210 m = 13 + 0.210 [S i n c e 1 m = 0.001 k m] = 13.210 k m$
Distance travel by Mohit towards west $= 15 k m 675 m$
$= 15 k m + 675 m = 15 + 0.675 [S i n c e 1 m = 0.001 k m] = 15.675 k m$
Step 2.Find total distance travel by Mohit.
Total distance travels by Mohit $=$ Distance travel by Mohit towards north $+$ Distance travel by Mohit towards south $+$ Distance travel by Mohit towards west
$= 8.425 + 13.210 + 15.675 = 21.635 + 15.675 = 37.310 k m$
Hence total distance travel by Mohit is $37.310 k m o r 37 k m 310 m [S in c e 1 k m = 1000 m]$
