    The velocity versus time graph of a body moving along a straight line is as shown in figure. The ratio of displacement and distance covered body in 5 second is :-

    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.
