the distance travelled by G is equal to the distance travelled by C provided the man is pulling an unstretchable string which is almost considered massless.

Disk 'D' can slide and travel a larger distance compared to E because of its shape, ciruclar object tend to move faster when pushed than a cube object.

 

Hope that helps
