    You didn't say so, but we must assume that the "200 km/hr" is

    the glider's air-speed, that is, speed relative to the air.

    If the air itself is moving at 30 km/hr relative to the ground and

    across the glider's direction, then the glider's speed relative to

    the ground is

    √ (200² + 30²)

    = √ (40,000 + 900)

    = √ (40,900) = 202.24 ... km/hr (rounded)
