Displacement is a vector while distance is a scalar. Assume a particle is moving in a circular path. ... Displacement is always less than or equal to the distance traveled, so it cannot be greater than the distance......HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU......!!!!!!!!☺☺

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.
