Solution

The distance is 700 km: This statement is true. Distance is the total path covered by the whale, which is 700 km in this case.

The displacement is 220 km north: This statement is true. Displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of the whale, which is 220 km north in this case.

The displacement is 700 km: This statement is false. Displacement is not the total path covered but the shortest distance from the initial to the final position. So it cannot be 700 km.

The distance is 220 km north: This statement is false. Distance is the total path covered, not the direction. So it cannot be 220 km north.
