Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
B is correct
displacement is shortest distance between the two point
while distance is total distance covered
Required Answer :
b) Distance is AB + BC, displacement is AC.
Explanation :
Distance is the total path travelled by an object. And here the body has travelled from A to B and then B to C. So, the distance travelled by the body is AB + BC.
Displacement is the shortest distance travelled by a body in a particular direction.
The shortest distance from the start point to the ending point is AC. So, the displacement of the body is AC.

Knowledge Bytes :
Distance is a scalar quantity.
It's S.I. unit is m.
The formula to calculate distance travelled by a body :
- Distance = s × t
where,
- s denotes the speed
- t denotes the time
Displacement is a vector quantity.
It's S.I. unit is same as distance, i.e. m.
The formula to calculate displacement :
- Displacement = v × t
where,
- v denotes the velocity
- t denotes the time
