Detailed Solution

When lubricant is applied at the common surface of contact of two objects, one moving relative to the other, a thin layer of lubricants exits between two objects. No direct metal to metal contact takes place. In this case power loss is proportional to the coefficient of viscosity. For gaseous substances, coefficient of viscosity is less than that of liquid. So option - (3) is correct.
