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

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

25 km and 60 km

95 km and 35 km

60 km and 25 km

85 km and 35 km

Explanation:

During motion from O to C and back to B, distance covered
d = actual path taken = O C + BC
= 60 km+ (60 − 35) km = 85 km
Similarly displacement x = least distance between O and B
=OB= 35 km
