Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Distance travelled by a person is the actual length of the path travelled by the person within the given time. It is the scalar quantity that considers only the magnitude of the quantity. Since the total path travelled by a person should have a particular value, it will always be positive. Only the values which consider direction also (Vector quantities) can have negative values.
