No, aa for euclidean space, the displacement is always greater than or equal to the distance travelled as goes by it's definition that it is the shortes way possible to reach from point A to point B. And hence in euclidean geometry, turns out to be the straight line or the vector connecting the points...

Displacement is always less than or equal to the distance. If in opposite direction it is always less than distance. If it is in same direction it may be equal to distance but never can be greater than the the distance.

A railway carriage of mass 9000 kg moving with a speed of 36 kmph collides with stationary carriage of the same mass. After the collision, the carriages get coupled and moved together. What is their common speed after collision? What type of collision is this?
The objects move together after the collision and have a common velocity. So it's a perfectly inelastic collision. To find the velocity we use Law of conservation of linear momentum. Given velocity v1=...

Sameer went on his bike from Delhi to Gurgaon at a speed of 60km/hr and came back at a speed of 40km/hr. What is his average speed for entire journey?
To find the average speed, you need to know the formula of average speed. The avg speed 0= 2 d / (t1+ t2) = 2 v1.v2/(V1 + V2). Just substitute the value.
