Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
A physical quantity with numerical value is called a scalar quantity, and a physical quantity with both numeric value and direction is called a vector quantity. Displacement has both magnitude and direction and is called a vector quantity. The displacement of an object depends upon the initial and final position of the travel. The displacement vector head is pointed towards the final position, and its tail is from the initial position. Hence, displacement is a vector quantity.
The correct statement is that displacement is a vector quantity.
