Detailed Solution

The maximum value of the ratio of distance to displacement is 1.
The shortest distance between the initial and final position of a body is known as displacement. On the other hand, the length of the path covered by a body is known as the distance covered by an object. Displacement of an object is either equal or less than the distance covered. It is so because distance can either be zero or positive, whereas displacement can be negative. Hence, the ratio of distance to displacement will either be 1 or less than 1.
