  1. Answer:

    distance is a scalar quantity displacement is a vector quantity

    distance is the actual path travelled by man displacement is the shortest distance between initial position and final position

    Hence Distance is 12+5=17m

    displacement is 13 metre (By Pythagoras theorem)
