"Distance" is the sum of distances travelled, irrespective of direction, just like the odometer on a car.
"displacement" is the distance and angle of the final position relative to the initial position, irrespective of how and where intermediate stops are made.
For the given problem, the car moved:
300m due north and 60m due south, so the total distance travelled is ?
Since it travelled 300m due north and 60m due south, the end position is at 240m due north from the original position. What is the displacement?
