Question
Assertion : Work done by friction on a body sliding down an inclined plane is positive.
Reason : Work done is greater than zero, if angle between force and displacement is acute or both are in same direction.

Answer

(e) When a body slides down on inclined plane,workdonebyfrictionisnegativebecauseitopposesthe motion ( $\theta=180^{\circ}$ between force and displacement)
