  1. Q1. Which has the least value for the same pair of surfaces?

    • A.rolling friction
    • B.static friction
    • C.sliding friction
    • D.limiting friction

    Answer: A. rolling friction

    NCERT fact (physics, chapter 'How Forces Affect Motion'): Rolling friction < sliding < static. Why option A fits - Correct. Distractor analysis: option B) 'static friction' misses the point - It is the largest; option C) 'sliding friction' is wrong because Larger than rolling friction. Final answer - A) rolling friction.

  2. Q2. Which is described: 'opposes relative motion between surfaces'?

    • A.Friction
    • B.Sliding friction
    • C.Rolling friction
    • D.Lubricant

    Answer: A. Friction

  3. Q3. Which is described: 'acts before motion starts; largest'?

    • A.Static friction
    • B.Rolling friction
    • C.Lubricant
    • D.Ball bearings

    Answer: A. Static friction

    We are told that the numerical data stated in the question (physics, chapter 'How Forces Affect Motion'). What we must find: the requested quantity. From the chapter we use the relation: hence the result = Static friction. Write the electron configuration 2, 8, 8. Matching this against the options, A) Static friction is the answer. As for the others, option B) 'Rolling friction' is incorrect: Rolling friction: smallest; when a body rolls; option C) 'Lubricant' doesn't hold - Lubricant: reduces friction between surfaces.
