Here is your answer,
=======:
No, the displacement can't be greater than the distance travelled by an object this can be explained as follows :
As distance is the total length covered by an object while, Displacement is the shortest distance travelled between two points. This if displacement is shortest distance then how it can be greater than the distance.

no displacement cannot be greater than the distance but it can be equal or smaller than it. for eg- a boy covered 4km south and then 6 km to north then the distance will be 10 km and displacement will be 2km.
same way a boy covered 4km south and then 3 km to east then distance will be 7 km and displacement will be 5km 
another eg- if the boy covers 5km south and 5 km north so the distance will be 10 km and displacement will be o
