Answer:

ice due to less coefficient of friction as the melting water forms a layer beneath the ice enabling it to slide down easily

Out of these three objects, the ice cube will slide down first.  This is because-

  • There is frictional force acting between the surface of the tray and the ice cube, eraser, and rupee coin.
  • As the tray is lifted, sliding friction will act which will resist the motion.
  • The object which suffers the least frictional resistance will slide down first.
  • As the ice cube melts, the surface will be wet with water.
  • Water has low shear and it will act as a lubricant reducing the friction between the ice cube and the tray surface.
  • Hence, the ice cube will slide down first out of all three objects.
