I think your question is -----> Give one condition where , distance travelled by a body is greater than displacement of that body ?

you know about displacement and distance
Distance is the magnitude of length travelled by a body . While displacement is the minimum separation of path travelled by body.
According to definition it is clear that distance is always greater than an equal to displacement.
Case 1 :- one body moves in straight line path or rectilinear path.
then distance = displacement

Case 2 :- when body moves non-linear path like parabolic or circular motion etc.
distance covered by body > displacement

Hence, condition is -----> body should be move in non- linear motion for distance greater than displacement.

I think the question is wrong . It should have been like this :
"Given one condition where distance travelled by an object is greater than displacement ."

Distance is the total path transversed by an object  where as displacement is the shortest distance between source and destination.

Condition :

--> Distance travelled will be equal to magnitude of displacemnt when object travels in straight  path or rectilinear 

--> If object travels in any other path like curvilinear the displacement will be always less than distance.

--> when object travels in circular path displacement will be zero where as distance will be equal to 2πR
