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.

Yes, the distance travelled by a particle can be zero even when the displacement is not zero. This can happen when the particle moves back and forth along the same path, resulting in a net displacement of zero but no actual distance covered.
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.
Yes, it is possible for displacement to be zero while distance is not. This can happen when an object moves in different directions and its total movement results in a non-zero distance, while the net change in position (displacement) from start to finish is 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.

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.
Yes, it is possible for displacement to be zero while distance is not. This can happen when an object moves in different directions and its total movement results in a non-zero distance, while the net change in position (displacement) from start to finish is zero.
Displacement is a vector quantity that measures the change in position of an object. It can be zero even if the distance traveled is not zero when the object moves back to its initial position. For example, if a car drives in a complete circle and returns to its starting point, its displacement is zero since the initial and final positions are the same, even though the distance traveled is not zero.
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.
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.
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.
