    Consider the given statements and select the option which correctly identifies the true (T) and false (F) statements.
    (i) Distance is the magnitude of displacement in all cases.
    (ii) When a body moves with uniform speed, then the average speed is same as instantaneous speed.
    (iii) Average speed is greater than the average velocity if a body is moving in a straight line without reversing its direction.
    (iv) When a body moves with constant velocity, the average velocity is zero.
     

    A)
    (i) (ii) (iii) (iv)
    T F T F
     

    B)
    (i) (ii) (iii) (iv)
    T T T T
     

    C)
    (i) (ii) (iii) (iv)
    F F F F
     

    D)
    (i) (ii) (iii) (iv)
    F T F F
     

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    (i) F; Distance is equal to the magnitude of displacement only when a body moves in a straight line without reversing its direction.
    (ii) T
    (iii) F; Average speed is equal to average velocity when a body moves in a straight line without reversing its direction. In all other cases, Average speed > |Average Velocity|
    (iv) F
