Solution

The correct option is A

To obtain gain in speed


Class III lever-though they have mechanical advantage less than one, but by using them we get a gain in speed, i.e. a larger movement of the load is obtained by smaller movement of effort. For example, the blade of a knife moves longer by smaller movement of its handle.
