Needs clarity on this displacement vector diagram

[Chijioke]

Homework Statement

How far from his destination

Relevant Equations

The trigonometric ratios of acute angles in a right angled triangle:
SOH CAH TOA

The problem is actually a solved example

My attention is focused in understanding the displacement vector diagram as it has to deal with question (iv).
I have no problem understanding the velocity vector sketch below:

As you can see ND is the velocity of the river current due East and NE is the velocity of the boat supposed the man chooses to go Northward.
Here comes another sketch for the velocity

I am confused about the sketch because
a. I don't understand what the vertical arrow beside NA meant.
b. the 3km, is what? Is the displacement of the river or what? If it is, how was obtained because I know from the wording of the problem nothing like that was given. what was given 3 kmhr-1, which the displacement of the river. From the solving as it in the book I thinking that the 5km

As I showed here

Please help my understanding. Thank you.

You are understandably confused because the diagram provided in the solution is mislabeled. The vertical arrow beside NA must represent the vertical component of the displacement which is given as 5 km. The label 3 km is either a typo or the drawing is pasted from a different problem. Your drawing of the displacement vector is correct.

I may still have question concerning this but let go and think. Thank you.

The river can't be made narrower: the man still has 5 km separating him from the opposite shore.
It must be a typo.
