Answer:
Distance=125m Displacement=75m
Explanation:
Distance= total distance travelled by a body
Displacement= shortest distance between the starting point and end point. Assuming that the motion was in a straight line, the body first moves 100m n them comes back 25m towards the origin.
The shortest distance between the 2 points is 75m which is the displacement.
