Statement I: Polishing two surfaces beyond a limit can make the friction between them increase instead of decrease.

Statement II: Very smooth surfaces come into intimate contact, and the resulting intermolecular adhesion adds to the resistance to sliding.

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Past a point, polishing removes the gaps that kept the surfaces apart, and molecular attraction (cold welding tendency) raises the friction.

Both statements are true.

Option A.
