Answer:

2 km due south.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the displacement of 4km south,2 km north, 5km south, and 5 km north.

Let south is negative direction and north is positive direction.

The shortest path covered by an object is called its displacement.

D = -4+2-5+5

D = -2 km

So, the displacement is 2 km and it is in south direction.
