Question
The numerical ratio of displacement to the distance covered is always
- Less than one
- Equal to one
- Equal to or less than one
- Equal to or greater than one
The correct answer is: Equal to or less than one
Since displacement is always less than or equal to distance, but never greater than distance. Hence numerical ratio of displacement to the distance covered is always equal to or less than one
