Answer:

Explanation:

Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance to the total time taken. It is a scalar quantity.

Average velocity is defined as the total displacement to the total time taken. It is a vector quantity.

They both are equal, if the motion is straight line.

So, every time it is not true.
