Solution

es. The statement “Not have a variable speed” implies that the speed is constant. So a body with constant speed can also have a constant velocity unless the direction of the body doesn't change. So a body moving in a particular direction with constant speed does possess constant velocity, i.e., both in magnitude and direction.
