Explαnαtion:
Suppose that body starts from point A so after 1¾th round it'll first cover 1 round and come back to A again after 1 round then it'll cover ¾th of the circular path and will come to B.
Now, in order to find the ratio of distance travelled to its displacement, firstly we'll calculate distance and displacement.
Let the distance covered be D. Distance covered by it will be the 1¾th of the total length of the circular path. The total length of the circular path is the circumference and circumference is calculated by using the formula 2πr. So,
Here, the radius is R.
Let the displacement be S.
Displacement will be the shortest distance from its initial to final position. Here, the initial position is A and the final position is B. So, the displacement is AB. Now, we have to calculate the length of AB. AO is the radius, drop OB as a perpendicular on point O. It'll also be considered as the radius, so its length is R too. Now, by using Pythagoras Property,
Here,
Substitute the values from ( 1 ) and ( 2 ).
∴ The ratio of distance travelled to its displacement is 11:√2. The correct option is Option A.
