Q. Assertion : It is difficult to move a cycle along the road with its brakes on.
Reason : Sliding friction is greater than rolling friction.

When brakes are on, there is no rolling of the wheels and the wheels slide. The sliding friction is greater than the rolling friction. Thus it is difficult to move a cycle along the road with its breaks on.
