Statement $(I)$: An object subjected to velocities $\overrightarrow{v_1}$ and $\overrightarrow{v_2}$ has a resultant velocity with magnitude $|\vec{v}| = |\overrightarrow{v_1}| + |\overrightarrow{v_2}|$.
Statement $(II)$: The magnitude of displacement is either less than or equal to the path length of an object between two points.
Statement $(III)$: The instantaneous acceleration is the limiting value of the average acceleration as the time interval approaches zero.
Which of the following is correct?

$A$ bead is moving in medium $1$ with a uniform speed of $1\, m/s$ for $2.5\, s$. Then it enters into air and falls freely under gravity for $2\, m$. Finally, it enters medium $2$ and immediately moves with uniform speed for $1.5\, s$. The total distance the bead has traveled is.........$m$ $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$: (in $.1$)
