Q. The ratio of the numerical values of the average velocity and average speed of a body is always

Motion in a Straight Line

Solution:

$\frac{|\text{Average velocity}|}{|\text{Average speed}|} = \frac{|\text{displacement}|}{|\text{distance}|} \le 1$
Displacement will either be equal or less than distance. It can never be greater than distance.
