My father went to a shop from home which is located at a distance of 250 m on a straight road. On reaching there, he discovered that he forgot to carry a cloth bag. He came home to take it, went to the shop again, bought provisions and came back home. How much was the total distance travelled by him? What was his displacement from home?

He travelled 250 m four times: home to shop, shop to home, home to shop and shop to home. Therefore, total distance = 1000 m. Since he returned home, displacement = 0 m.
