yes,displacement is the shortest distance covered by a body,so distance covered by a body may be greater than the displacement.
"Distance" covered is always greater than the magnitude of the displacement,unless the motion is in a straight line. In that case, distance and displacementare equal. Distance is never less than displacement.

Displacement can be equal to distance traveled or less, depending on the shape of the route, but it can never be greater than the distance traveled.
its magnitude is greater thatn the distance travelled by the object
Yes it is. Good work.

Yes distance will be equal or more than the magnitude of displacement. Distance cannot be less than the magnitude of displacement in any way. For example if a body goes around a circle completing one full round then distance covered will be the circumference ie 2pi r But displacement is zero. As the starting and stopping point are one and the same, the distance between initial and final is zero.

No. Distance can be greater than displacement, but not less. The magnitude of the displacement between two points is also the minimum possible distance of a path between the same points.However, the displacement can be zero if the distance is not if the object's starting point and ending point are the same.
Distance is greater , because displacement can be zero ,but, distance cannot be zero.

There's no firm relationship between the magnitudes of distance and displacement, except that displacement can never be greater than distance. So if you're looking for a ratio, I guess (distance)/(displacement) = or > 1
Displacement and distance travelled are synonymous, so my inference would be no, it can't.
