    We have been given that car is moving 60 km in east

    And 90 km in west

    That means we are given two different directions

    So, if distance in East is taken to be positive 60 km

    Then the distance when car is moving in west direction will be taken as - 90 km

    So, the displacement means how far the object is from to initial to final position.

    So, the displacement will be (-90) + 60 = - 30

    So, it will be in - 30 km (minus is west direction).
