Sorry, by mistake I posted the previous answer. The correct explanation is here:
ย 
A body can have constant speed but variable velocity.ย Speed is only the modulus of velocity, which has only magnitude and no direction. Whereas, velocity has magnitude + direction.
ย 
Consider a body moving with a speed of 10m/s due east. It takes a right turn at the same speed, 10m/s.ย So, its speed remains constant, but its direction changes. So, the velocity changes from 10i (east) to -10j (south).
ย 
So, we can conclude that for a body having same speed, velocity may be variable.

Thanks!

Yes it is possible.
A body performing uniform circular motion has const speed but variable velocity.
Hope it clears.

Yes it is possible that body has constant speed but variable velocity.ย 
In case of uniform circular motion , speed can be constant but due to change in direction velocity changes!

Yes it is possible ,
A body performingย  circular motion with constantย  speed does not have constantย  velocity , as velocityย  is an vector quantity ,it is dependent on magnitudeย  as well as direction
So in circularย  motion when speed is constantย  the magnitudeย  of velocityย  is constant but it's directionย  changes on every points so the velocity doesn'tย  remainย  constant and changes on everyย  point of the circle

Yes, because it has its a law of nature.๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€
ย  Hope your doubt is clear. I am a good explaner i knw...haaahhhaaaaa

Yes if we consider a uniform circular motion speed is constant but velocity changes as direction changes due to centripetal acceleration
Thank you
