Solution

The correct option is C

π22


Distance travelled by the car = 14×(Circumference of the circle) = 14×2πr = πr2

Displacement is the shortest distance between two points which the body moves. In the diagram below, the displacement is shown by the letter x

As evident from the figure, x2 = r2 + r2 = 2r2

Hence displacement, x = 2 r

Now, ratio of distace to displacement = πr22r = π22
