Explanation:
The sliding friction is less than static friction because of the interlocking of irregularities in the two surfaces. When the object starts sliding the contact points on its surface, do not get enough time to lock into the contact points on the floor. So the sliding friction is slightly less than the static friction.

Sliding friction is always less than the static friction because to move any object from rest we need to apply more force to over come static friction and once it is started to move then it is easy to move as there is no need to apply more force while the object slides by sliding friction.
