Answer:

775 N due North.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the crate is pulled South with 350 N force, and the net force on the crate results into 425 N due North, then the other force (F) acting must be larger than the 350 N, and pointing North:

F - 350 N = 425 N

F = 425 N + 350 N = 775 N due North.
