Solution

The correct option is B STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is NOT a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1
Both statement are independently true but 2 is not the correct explanation of 1.
The reason of statement 1 is that while pulling, a component of force reduces the normal reaction and hence reduces the friction force.
