The motion of a car along a straight path is shown by the following figure:

The car starts O and reaches at A, B and C at different instants of time. During its motion from O to C and back to B, the distance covered and the magnitude of the displacement are, respectively

A

25 km and 60 km

B

95 km and 35 km

C

60 km and 25 km

D

85 km and 35 km

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Distance covered by the car= OA +AB+ BC+ CB =25+ 10+25+25=85Km Displacement by the car= OB= 35Km
