Question

Assertion: If distance travelled by a body is not zero, then displacement of a body will be a non-zero.

Reason: Displacement of a body is the shortest distance between initial and final positions.

विकल्प

• Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is a correct explanation for Assertion.

• Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is not a correct explanation for Assertion.

• Assertion is True, Reason is False.

• Assertion is False, Reason is True.

Answer 1

Assertion is False, Reason is True.

Explanation:

A body's displacement can be zero even if its distance travelled is not zero. For example, if the body returns to its initial location after travelling a certain distance from it, the displacement is zero yet the distance traversed is non-zero.
