distance: Scalar, Always increases, not a straight line

displacement: Vector, can increase or decrease depending on direction, always a straight line

Answer 2

the displacement of a body will be zero if starts and reaches the same initial point

but the distance traveled will be more

displacement is a vector quantity

distance traveled is a scalar quantity
