Question

In the case of a moving body

• A. Displacement > Distance
• B. Displacement < Distance
• C. Displacement ≥ Distance
• D. Displacement ≤ Distance

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Displacement ≤ Distance

Explanation for the correct option:

(D): Displacement ≤ Distance

1. Distance travel is the actual path traveled by a body.
2. Displacement is the shortest path traveled by a body.

Therefore, the distance traveled is always greater than or sometimes equal to the displacement of a body.
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
