In the given figure, let 
and 
represent the position of a car at different instants of
time.
With reference to the above given figure and select the incorrect pair from the option given below.
A
Displacement of car in moving 
to 
to B
Path length of car from 
to 
to C
Path length of car for its motion from 
to 
and back to 
to and back to D
Displacement of car for its motion from 
to 
and back to 
to and back to
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Displacement of the car is moving 
to 
is
Path length of the car is moving 
to 
is 120 m, as path length is the total distance traversed by the car from 
to 
.
Path length for the motion of the car from 
to 
and back to 
However, in the above case displacement
Hence, option is correct.
