distance : #pi*r/2#
displacement: #sqrt2r#

Explanation:

Let us consider a coordinate axis with the center as the center of the circular .

As the radius of the circle is r . initially consider the body is situated in the x axis at a distance r from the center .

we are given that the body has traveled 1/4th of the of the circle

the distance traveled by it will be #(2*pi*r)/4#(because 2 #pir# will be distance traveled by the body when it completes the whole circle

DISPLACEMENT:

When it travels 1/4th of the distance at final it will be at the y axis at a distance r from the center

applying pythagoras theorem the displacement will be #sqrt(r^2+r^2)=>sqrt(2r^2)=>sqrt2r#
