Detailed Solution

Friction is the opposing force generated when two objects slide against each other. It is generated due to the interlocking of irregularities present on the surfaces of the objects in contact.

When you sprinkle a powder substance on a rough surface of the carrom board, the particles of the powder fill the gaps in the surface and make it smoother. As a result of smoothing, interlocking between the surface of the carrom and striker reduces to a great extent. Therefore we can say that the sprinkling powder on the surface of the carrom reduces friction.
