Statement-I: A body can have non-zero distance and zero displacement. Statement-II: A body can have non-zero displacement and zero distance. (a) Statements I and II are true (b) Statement I is true and II is false (c) Statement I is false and II is true (d) Statements I and II are false

Answer:

Consider a body moving in a circular path of radius 'r'. If it completes one revolution, then the distance covered = circumference of circle, whereas displacement is zero, since initial point and final point are same. A body can never displace without the distance covered by it. Therefore statement-I is true and statement II is false.
