प्रश्न
Give scientific reasons for the following:
Sand mixed with salt is often spread over the icy roads in winter.
उत्तर
Sand improves the friction between car tyres and the road, so cars don't skid on icy surfaces. Salt is spread so as to decrease the melting point of ice. Ice on the roads melt, making the roads less slippery.
