Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): Improper banking of roads causes wear and tear of tyres.
Reason (R): The necessary centripetal force in that event is provided by the force of friction between the tyres and the road.
  
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.

A car is moving on a circular track of radius \(50~\text{cm}\) cm with coefficient of friction being \(0.34.\) On this horizontal track, the maximum safe speed for turning is equal to: (take \(g=10~\text{m/s}^2\) )
1. \(1.03~\text{m/s}\)
2. \(1.7~\text{m/s}\) 
3. \(1.3~\text{m/s}\)
4. \(1.8~\text{m/s}\)

A circular racetrack of radius \(300~\text m\) is banked at an angle of \(15^\circ.\) If the coefficient of friction between the wheels of a race-car and the road is \(0.2,\) what is the (a) optimum speed of the race-car to avoid wear and tear on its tyres, and (b) maximum permissible speed to avoid slipping?

1. \(v_0=28.1\) m/s and \(v_{max}=38.1\) m/s
2. \(v_0=38.1\) m/s and \(v_{max}=28.1\) m/s
3. \(v_0=0\) m/s and \(v_{max}=28.1\) m/s
4. \(v_0=38.1\) m/s and \(v_{max}=100\) m/s
