distance is always greater or equal to displacement it's a right statement because
a) distance :- the amount of space covered between two points,and it is path independent quantity.
b) displacement :- the shortest distance between the two points, it is path dependent quantity
the definition of both quantities reveals that distance is always greater or equal than displacement.
