1 The numerical ratio of displacement to distance for a moving
object is:
a)always less than 1
b)always equal to 1
c)always grater than 1
d)equal to or less than 1

Somnath physics · Accepted Answer

We know, magnitude of displacement
is the straight line distance between the initial and final point
of the path of a moving body

Displacement can be positive,
negative or zero while distance travelled is always positive and
zero when there is no motion

So, ratio of displacement to
distance is always equal to or less than 1

Correct option is d
