Question

Ram takes path 1 (straight line) to go from P to Q and shyam takes path 2 (semicircle). Find the displacement of Shyam.

• A. $50\pi m$
• B. $100m$
• C. $100\pi m$
• D. $25\pi m$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$100m$

Answer is B.
A displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a point P.
In this case, the displacement of Ram and Shyam will be the same as their initial and final points are the same.
Therefore, the displacement of Ram and Shyam is 100 m.
