Answer:

Total distance covered (scalar quantity) = 23 km

Displacement (vector quantity) = 3 km north from the original starting point

Explanation:

Since he drove 13 km north and then 10 km south, the total distance he cover in his drive was: 13 km + 10 km = 23 km

On the other hand, his displacement was 3 km north from where he started.
