Can the displacement of a particle is zero while distance travelled is not zero

Yes, the displacement can be zero if the particle returns to its starting point.

If a body starts from some point, say A, goes in a circle and comes back to point A, then the displacement as defined will be zero. Because the initial and final points will be same and there will be zero distance between them. But in the same case distance will not be zero and will be given by the length of actual path traveled by body.
Hence, displacement can be zero, even if distance covered is non-zero.
