Question
The distance travelled by a body in a uniform circular motion keeps increasing with time, whereas the displacement of the body keeps on varying with time.
The distance travelled by a body in a uniform circular motion keeps increasing with time, whereas the displacement of the body keeps on varying with time.

Solution
The correct option is A True
The distance is the actual path travelled by an object, whereas the displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final points. If we take a point on the path of the body in uniform circular motion, the displacement increases initially, till the maximum value, which is the diameter of the circle. The displacement then decreases and becomes zero when the object comes back to its originating point.
