The ratio of the numerical values of the average velocity and average speed of a body is always.

A

Always less than `1`

B

`Always ewual to `1`

C

Always more than `1`

D

Equal to or than `1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

We know that average velocity=`(displacement)/(time) and average
speed `=(destance)/(time )` Sindnce displacement can be less than of equal to distance, average velocity can be less than or equal to average speed.
