Solution

The correct option is B
False

The statement is false. Instantaneous velocity is the velocity at any given instant in time. Average velocity is Total Displacement/ Time. When a body moves with constant velocity, the average velocity and the instantaneous velocity are equal. The body is said to be in uniform motion in this case.
