Detailed Solution

The above statement is correct.
When a bus starts suddenly, the lower part of the luggage kept on the roof, which is in contact with the bus, starts to move forward with the speed of the bus, but the upper part will be at rest because of the inertia of rest. Therefore, the upper part tends to be left behind and hence luggage goes backwards. So, it is advised to tie the luggage kept on the roof of a bus with a rope.
