when the body moves circularly from a point 'A' to a then the displacement will be zero(displacement is the shortest diatance from the initial point to final point) and the distance will not be zero.
Sure. As one car goes around a circle and as it completes one full rotation, then distance covered by the car is the circumference of the circle. But the displacement is Zero. So distance but no displacement.
Distance is greater , because displacement can be zero ,but, distance cannot be zero.
The distance travelled by a particle cannot be zero when displacement is not zero because unlike distance which is a scalar, displacement is a vector quantity implying that it has both direction and magnitude.

Yes. If you end up where you started, your displacement is zero, but the distance you travel is the actual amount of ground covered. For example, if you made a round trip of 50 miles, your displacement would be zero miles, but your distance would be 50 miles. This is because the final position and the initial position are the same. Round trips always have a displacement of zero.

No. Distance can be greater than displacement, but not less. The magnitude of the displacement between two points is also the minimum possible distance of a path between the same points.However, the displacement can be zero if the distance is not if the object's starting point and ending point are the same.
Distance is how far you have traveled. For example, if you walk to school and back, you will have traveled twice the distance between the school and your home. Displacement is how far you have gone in your travels. For example, if you walk to school and back, your displacement is zero because you end up where you started.
On a three dimensional basis yes it can. Fir instance, if an object is moving directly towards or away from you the angular displacement can be zero though the distance displacement changes.
Displacement is a vector quantity while distance is a scalar quantity. so in case of displacement, it depends on final position. For example:- If a man walks on a circle, then if he completes one round then his displacement will be zero because the man is at same position as start position. But, his distance travelled will not be zero; it is equal to circumference of the circle.
distance travel led by a particle in a given interval of time is known as displacement. displacement=distance traveled by time taken.Displacement may be zero. it is path length which a particle travels.distance should not be zero.
When the velocity is zero at the crossing of the time axis, the displacement must be a full maximum or minimum. Scroll down to related links and look at "Displacement - Velocity- Acceleration".
