Solution

The correct option is B

False


Displacement is a product of velocity and total time of travel. If you see a velocity-time graph, you’ll see that it is composed of several small rectangles under the curve that are nothing but products of small time intervals and the velocity at that time. If you sum up these rectangles, you get the total displacement. Therefore, the area enclosed under the velocity-time graph gives displacement.
