Distributed systems mean that more than one computer is used to perfom a specific task. They can be centralised, like in cloud computing where users connect to a group of computers that are owned by a specific cloud provider, or descentralized like peer to peer systems like BitTorrent where files are shared between computers without the need of a centralized resource. Blockchain is also a form of peer to peer system.

So it will be a decentralized system. How it have both decentralization and distribution properties? – HAMMAD ALI Jan 26 '20 at 09:19

A decentralized system is a subset of a distributed system. If it has descentralization properties it must have distributed properties as well. – anegru Jan 26 '20 at 09:52
