Question

pointed ends of cutting instruments exert more pressure(true or false)​

Answer 1

True

The cutting edges of tools like blades, knives etc., are provided with sharp edges to cut the things easily as the sharp edges has small area on which the force is applied, hence more pressure is applied.

Answer 2

Yes
P =f/a
P is inversely proportional to area
So smaller area means more pressure enough to Pierce surfaces
