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.

Solution:

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