(a) always less than 1
(b) always equal to 1
(c) always more than one
(d) equal or less than 1
​

Answer 1

Answer:

(D) Equal or Less Than 1

Explanation:

As we know that the displacement is the shortest distance between two points. Thus distance may be equal to, or greater than, displacement. Hence, the ratio of displacement to distance is always equal to or less than 1. So, the correct answer is option D.
