Q. Assertion Displacement of a body may be zero, when distance travelled by it is not zero.
Reason The displacement is the longer distance between initial and final position.

AIIMSAIIMS 2014

Solution:

The displacement is the shorter distance between initial and final positions. When final position of a body coincides with its initial position displacement is zero, but the distance travelled is non- zero.
