Dear Student,
TRUE.
If separation between the particle doesn’t change it means they are moving with the same velocity in the same direction.
So relative velocity= difference in their velocities=0.
Cheers!!

False
if we consider a body tracing a circular path around other body then the distance is same but relative velocity changes at every point
