distance travelled is the total original path traced by the body.
whereas the displacement is the shortest distance between final and initial positions.
For ex: a body is on a circular path.
initially it was at point A and now its at point B where point A and B are diametrically opposite points.
therefore distance=πR
displacement=2R
where R is radius of path.
