Zero

$\rule{200}2$

Displacement is defined as the shortest path travelled between the initial and final points.

Let's take an example to understand this

A boy start from his home to school and cover a distance of x km. Now, he returns back to home using the same pathway. As his initial and final points are same i.e. home. So, the total displacement of the boy is 0 km.

Let's take one more example to understand this:

Ram want to a market to buy some fruits. He starts from his house. Here, his house is the initial point from where he starts moving and market is the final destination or point where he want to reach.

Assume that, from his house to market he travelled a distance of 15 km. Now, after buying fruits he return backs to his house using the same pathway. Again the distance covered by him is the 15 km. So, the total distance covered by him is 30 km. Whereas, the Displacement covered by him (Ram) is 0 km. As his initial and final points are same (here initial and final point is his house).
