Question

Statement I : The average speed of a body over a given interval of time is equal to the average velocity of the body in the same interval of time if a body moves in a straight line in one direction.
Statement II : Distance travelled by a body is equal to the displacement of the body.

• A. If both Statement I and Statement II are true and the Statement II is correct explanation of the Statement I
• B. If both Statement I and Statement II are true but the Statement II is not the correct explanation of the Statement II
• C. If Statement I is true but Statement II is false
