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
`(|"Average velocity"|)/(|"Average speed"|) = (|"displacement"|)/(|"distance"|) le 1`
Dispalcement will either be equal or less than distance. It can never be greater than distance.
