Solution

The correct option is B False
Third-order lever: The effort is situated between the fulcrum and the load.
These are the levers in which the fulcrum is at one end and the force is applied in the middle and the weight is on the other end.
Ex: Fishing rod, A broom, A baseball bat, A bow and arrow, Human jaw, sugar tongs, etc
Hence, the statement is false.
