Answer 1

Explanation:

Yes it can be True, if its starting and finishing point is same

Answer 2

As the object starts from point A and completes one circle along the circumfrence, its end position will be point A[which was also its starting position]. Therefore the overall distance travelled by the object is 30 meter, but the dicplacement will be 0 as its starting point and finishing point are the same.
