Solution

  1. The three paths available are made up of gravel, bricks, and smooth marbles respectively.
  2. Among gravel, bricks, and smooth marbles.
  3. Path made up of bricks is having the highest friction.
  4. Path made up of gravel will have its friction intermediate between brick and smooth marble paths.
  5. Smooth marble path offers less friction.
  6. We will slip if we choose to travel on a path where there is not a considerable amount of friction.
  7. Thus we have to avoid paths made up of smooth marble in order to prevent us from slipping.
