(N/A) If the distance covered is zero,the particle has not moved,so its displacement is $0$.
$(b)$ By the definition of acceleration,$a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$. Therefore,the change in velocity $\Delta v = a \Delta t$.
$(c)$ The time rate of change of position is defined as velocity.

$A$ horse rider covers half the distance with $5\,m/s$ speed. The remaining part of the distance was travelled with speed $10\,m/s$ for half the time and with speed $15\,m/s$ for the other half of the time. The mean speed of the rider averaged over the whole time of motion is $\frac{x}{7}\,m/s$. The value of $x$ is
