Question

Driving a car on a wet road is difficult because water

• A. makes it difficult to turn the car.
• B. decreases the friction between the tyres and the road.
• C. increases the friction between the tyres.
• D. makes friction between the road and tyres zero.

Answer 1

The correct option is B decreases the friction between the tyres and the road.

We know that greater the friction more is the ease of driving. Water decreases the friction between the tyres of a vehicle and the road hence, driving a car on a wet road is difficult.
