Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): On a rainy day, it is difficult to drive a car or a bus at a high speed.
Reason (R): The value of the coefficient of friction is lowered when the surface is wetted.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.

A curve in a level road has a radius of \(75\) m. The maximum speed of a car turning this curved road can be \(30\) m/s without skidding. If the radius of the curved road is changed to \(48\) m and the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road remains the same, then the maximum allowed speed would be:
1. \(12\) m/s
2. \(24\) m/s
3. \(32\) m/s
4. \(44\) m/s
