A bus is going to the North at a speed of \(30\) kmph. It makes a \(90^{\circ}\) left turn without changing the speed. The change in the velocity of the bus is:

1. \(30~\text{kmph}\) towards \(\mathrm{W}\)
2. \(30~\text{kmph}\) towards \(\mathrm{S\text-W}\)
3. \(42.4~\text{kmph}\) towards \(\mathrm{S\text-W}\)
4. \(42.4~\text{kmph}\) towards \(\mathrm{N\text-W}\)
