Detailed Solution

A man thinks to remain horizontally in equilibrium against two vertical walls as shown the requirement is weight W=f1+f2

Question Image

To fulfill the requirement he has to push both walls with same force F and should avail horizontal component of reaction force (F) as frictional forces f1=f2

So there must present friction on both walls

i.e. the wall must have rough surface.

So among the given statements we have 1 and 3 as correct.
