Question

A particle moves from point P directly towards another point Q
which is at a distance of 10cm from P It then comes to P directly
Calculate: (I) the total distance travelled and (ii) the
displacement of the particle

Dear student,

Total distance =PQ+QPDistance = 10+10 =20 cmAs the particle starts from P and comes back to P,its displacement will be zero
