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

A

unity

B

unity or less

C

unity or more

D

less than unity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`(|averag e velocity|)/(|averag e speed|)=(|displacement|)/(|dista nce|)le1`
because fisplacement will either be equal or less than distance. It can never be greater than distance.
