उत्तर
In a given interval of time, the displacement of a moving object is zero when its final position is the same as the initial position, whereas the distance travelled by the object is not zero. For example, an athlete moving on a circular track. If he starts from A and completes one round and reaches back to point A, his displacement is zero whereas the distance travelled by him is not zero but 2πr.
