Answer: 2R

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the person travels пR distance. We know that the circumference of a circle is 2πR. So your imaginated person has traveled the distance which​ is half of the circumference of the circle. And this distance is equal to its diameter. We know that diameter of a circle is two times larger than the radius. So the person's displacement is two times of the radius, means 2R. [Here 'R' means the radius of the circle]
