Answer
Total Distance = 300 km
Total Displacement = 100 km
Explanation:
Distance is the total length of the path along which a body travels.
So From town A to C the car travels 200 km.
Then comes back to B located between A and C. Which is 100 km.
Adding them 200 + 100 = 300 km
Displacement is the shortest from initial to the final position of the body.
So From town A to C the car travels 200 km.
Then comes back to B located between A and C. Which is 100 km.
Since it comes back half way through we will subtract 100 km from 200 km.
Answer is 100 km
