(A) : Polishing a surface beyond a certain limit increases rather than decreases the frictional forces .
(R) : When the surface is polished beyond a certain limit , the molecules exert strong attractive force . This is called surface adhesion , to overcome which additional force is required . Hence frictional force increases .
