Detailed Solution

If the car is moving on a straight road, then the distance moved and the magnitude of displacement are equal
The distance moved and value of displacement are equal only in the case of motion along a straight line. Due to the fact displacement is the shortest path among initial and find paths. So, for the vehicle moving on a straight road, distance moved and magnitude of displacement are equal.
