Therefore:
The total relative displacement is 25mm+75mm=100mm

Always put this questions in your mind. NOTES:

a.) Where is the reference line? Reference line- Is a line always
b.) What will be the effect of relative displacement? tangent to the supports thus wherein
c.) How to apply the sign convention to the equations? the moment is being observed
