A dancer is demonstrating dance steps along a straight line. The position - time graph is given here.

Figure shows the plot of a particle in one-dimensional motion. Two different equal intervals of time are shown. Let and be average speeds in time intervals and respectively. Then,

Consider the given statements and select the option which correctly identifies the true (T) and false (F) statements.
(i) Distance is the magnitude of displacement in all cases.
(ii) When a body moves with uniform speed, then the average speed is same as instantaneous speed.
(iii) Average speed is greater than the average velocity if a body is moving in a straight line without reversing its direction.
(iv) When a body moves with constant velocity, the average velocity is zero.

Match the column I with column II and mark the correct option from the codes given below.
Column | | Column |I | ||
(a) | (i) | ||
(b) | (ii) | ||
