Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
We know that pressure equals the force applied on a unit area. Mathematically,

Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area}

We can say that minimum is the area for the same force, and maximum will be the pressure.
Camels have wide feet, and horses have narrow feet, as pressure is inversely proportional to the area. So the pressure exerted by a camel on sand is less than that by horses. As a result, the horse’s feet get sunk into the sand, thus making it difficult for the horse to run in the desert.
