Explanation:
No. When the body comes back to the same position after travelling a distance, its displacement is zero though it has travelled some distance.

No, it is not necessary that distance covered is also zero if displacement is zero
If there is no movement then only distance can be zero
Explanation:
- Distance covered by any body is the total path covered by the body. It is a scalar quantity that is it do not have any direction. Its value can be positive or zero but can not be negative
- Displacement is the shortest path covered by any body. It is a vector quantity that is it have direction as well as magnitude. Its value can be positive, negative and zero
- Displacement of body is zero, its distance covered by zero only if it does not move or change its position but if it moves between two point then distance never be zero
- For example :- If a man goes to market from his home and then came back to home in this case displacement is zero but distance is twice the distance between home and market
