Have a good day friend

Answer 2

Hey there!

It's really easy one.

The shortest length covered by a body between final and initial position is called displacement.
∴ Displacement = 100-25
                       = 75 m

Total path length covered by a moving body is called distance.
∴ Distance = 100+ 25
               = 125 m

Hope it helps you!
