A circular racetrack of radius $300\; m$ is banked at an angle of $15^o$. 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 racecar to avoid wear and tear on its tyres, and

$Assertion$ : Angle of repose is equal to the angle of limiting friction.
$Reason$ : When the body is just at the point of motion, the force of friction in this stage is called limiting friction.

A pen of mass $m$ is lying on a piece of paper of mass $M$ placed on a rough table. If the coefficients of friction between the pen and paper and the paper and the table are $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$, respectively. Then, the minimum horizontal force with which the paper has to be pulled for the pen to start slipping is given by
