Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
A coefficient of friction that is more than 1 that means frictional is greater than normal force ( silicon rubber has coefficient of friction) greater than 1. So, coefficient of friction can be greater than 1.
f=μN where f, frictional force
N, Normal reaction
μ , Coefficient of friction
fN=μ (ratio) & μ
0<μ1
So Assertion is correct but reason is Incorrect.
