Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect The magnitude of the displacement for a course of motion may be zero but
the corresponding path length can be non-zero. For example, if a car starts
from a point O, goes to a point P and then returns to O. The final
position coincides with the initial position and the displacement is
zero. The path length of this journey is OP + OP = 2OP.
