Detailed Solution

According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, the forces two objects exert on each other are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. In a tug of war, the force one team exerts on the other is matched by an equal and opposite force from the other team.

The team that can generate a greater force against the ground can exert a stronger pulling force on the rope. The greater the frictional force between their feet and the ground (a result of pushing harder), the more effectively they can pull the other team towards them.
