I think ur question needs much more clarity.
Still, i would like to explain abt distance & displacement.
Distance of a particle, is the distance covered by that object.
But displacement is how far the particle is displaced from the origin point.
For (e.g) if u are starting from ur home and leaving to your school/college, which is say 15kms from your home, then distance travelled by you is 15 kms and displacement of the particle i.e you is also 15kms.
On the other hand, if you are starting from your home, leaving to your college(15kms away) and returning back to your home. Then, Distance = 15kms wherease displacement = 0.
So, the answer for your question will vary according to the situation. As in my 1st e.g answer would be 1, in the second case 0/infinite!
Hope this would help u!!!

yes distance/displacement of a particle is greater or =1.but it can be 1/0 as well as <0. since displacement , unlike the distance, is a vector quantity. so it can be 0 of <0.
revise def of both distance and displacment.
i think u r in 9th standard. study hard and good luck!

distance and displacement are the same, its the movement or space covered by an object to move from one location to another, the question needs to be refined, it seems it is a part of some solution related to integration
