Solution

The correct option is C Statement-1 is true and Statement-2 is false.
Answer is C.
Initially, the cart is at rest. To overcome the inertia at rest of the cart and bring the cart in momentum, it has to apply a harder force on the ground. Also, static friction is greater than sliding friction.
Hence, the statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false.
