Displacement may be zero even when distance travelled is not zero ? Is not true ? Is the reverse also true ? Give examples.

Under what conditions can a body travel a certain distance and yet its resultant displacement be zero ?

If the distance covered is zero, the displacement:-

Assertion : If the displacement of the body is zero, the distance covered by it may not be zero. Reason : Displacement is a vector quantity and distance is a scalar quantity.

Assertion: Displacement of a body may be zero when distance travelled by it is not zero. Reason: The displacement is the longest distance between initial and final position.
