Car A has a velocity of 40 km/hr.

Answer 1

Car A has a velocity of 40 km/hr west.

Step-by-step explanation:

The velocity of an object is a vector quantity. It has both magnitudes as well as direction.

Arrows are used to show direction.

Car A is moving towards west. Car B is moving towards east-south direction. Car C is moving towards South direction. Car E is moving towards North direction.

So, the correct option is (a) i.e. Car A has a velocity of 40 km/hr west.
