Distance

\mathrm{ACB}=\mathrm{r\left ( 135^{o}\times \frac{\pi }{180} \right ) }

60=\frac{3}{4}\: \mathrm{\pi r}

\mathrm{r=\frac{80}{\pi }}\rightarrow (1)

Magnitude of displacement \mathrm{AB} is \mathrm{S_{AB}=\sqrt{r^{2}+r^{2}-2r^{2}\cos 135^{0}}}

(from cosine laws)

\mathrm{S_{AB}=\sqrt{2r}\times \sqrt{1.7}}

\mathrm{S_{AB}=\sqrt{3.4}\: \: r}

From eq.1

\mathrm{S_{AB}=\sqrt{3.4}\times \frac{80}{\pi }}

         =47\: \mathrm{m}

Hence (2) is correct option.
