Answer:

Displacement = -2 units and Distance = 20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

A man travels 9 units to the right and then 11 units to the left.

We need to find the displacement and distance traveled.

Let the left side is negative and the right side is positive.

Displacement = -11 + 9

= -2 units

Distance = 11 units + 9 units

= 20 units

Hence, the displacement and distance travelled is (-2 units) and 20 units.
