Solution

The correct option is B

False


Pulley is a simple machine used to change the direction of force applied to lift the load.
Example: Lifting water from a well using a pulley.
In the above case even though we apply force in the downward direction, the load ( bucket full of water) is moving in the direction opposite (upward direction) to the direction of application of effort.
