Displacement = Sigma area =16-8+16-8=16 m Distance = Sigma mid area mid=48 m ( text displacement / text Distance )=(1/3)

Q. The velocity time graph of a body moving in a straight line is shown in figure.
The ratio of displacement to distance travelled by the body in time $0$ to $10 s$ is

$1 : 2$

$1 : 4$

$1 : 3$

$1 : 1$

Displacement $= Σ$ area $= 16 - 8 + 16 - 8 = 16 m$
Distance $= Σ ∣$ area $∣= 48 m$
$\frac{displacement}{Distance} = \frac{1}{3}$
