What is Chen and ban? Anyway, if it is going in the opposite direction to the wind, the resultant velocity is 700 km/h

This is a vector problem. Since the plane is flying at 600 km/h (with respect to the air) and is flying INTO a 100 km/h wind this means that the resultant velocity is 500 km/h (with respect to an observer on the ground).

If the plane has 600km/hr of velocity while flying in 100km/hr wind (no matter the direction), then the velocity is excactly what you've stated it to be, 600km/hr. If the plane has 600km/hr of velocity and then suddenly flys into wind blowing in the opposite direction at 100km/hr, its velocity will be reduced to 500km/hr.
