dear shreyasee 
no , silver cannot displace hydrogen in hydrogen sulphate solution , 
if u can see the electromotive series which arrenge the elements acc to their oxidation or reduction potential value , 
then silver lies below hydrogen . 
so, its not possible for silver to replace hydrogen in this case , 
HOPE IT CLEARS
