Solution

The correct option is B

Q


In the question, we have been given the distances that the vehicle takes to come to rest for the surfaces P, Q, R and S.
Greater the frictional force, less is the distance required to come to rest. Of the surfaces, Q is the one where the vehicle covers the least distance before coming to rest. Hence, Q offers the maximum force of friction.
