Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Due to surface area and pressure effects, it is easier to cut fruits with a sharp knife rather than a blunt knife.Surface area and pressure are the aspects that play a vital role in cutting vegetables. Since pressure is inversely proportional to the surface area, a sharp knife with a lesser surface area applies a greater pressure and makes cutting fruit easy. Hence a blunt knife with a greater surface area would apply lesser pressure and make cutting fruits harder.
