Statement 1: Bicycle tyres wear out due to high muscular force.
Statement 2: Treads in a tyre are made to increase the grip with the surface.

• A. Only statement 1 is correct.

• D. Both the statements are incorrect.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Only statement 2 is correct.

Bicycle tyres wear out over a period of time due to high frictional force between the tyre and the surface(ground) in contact.

Treads in a tyre help the car/bike/bicycle to have better grip on an uneven road as it helps in increasing interlocking.
