    Which of the following in case of a discrete data, is not equal to the median?

    For a particle under going rectilinear motion with uniform acceleration, the magnitude of displacement is one third the distance covered in some time interval. The magnitude of final velocity is less than magnitude of initial velocity for this time interval. Then the ratio of initial speed velocity to the final speed for this time interval is :

    Due to the motion of a charge, its magnitude

    A car travels from A to B and returns to its original position. The distance between A and B is 2000 m. When can the magnitude of distance and displacement be equal for a body in motion?

    A particle moves along a path ABCD as shown in the figure. Then the magnitude of net displacement of the particle from position A to D is:

    STATEMENT - 1 : If person walks in a straight line and never changes direction, then the distance and the displacement will have exactly the same magnitude. STATEMENT - 2 : The phrase ''20 m, northwest'' likely describe the distance for a motion. STATEMENT - 3 : The phrase ''20 m, west'' likely describes the displacement for a motion
