Answer 4

"According to Newton's third law, each team in a tug of war pulls with equal force on other team."

This statement (of your's) is incorrect.

Newton's Third Law states, "to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

It does not mean if a team X pulls a team Y then team Y will pull team X with the same force.

It would be true if the other end of the rope was tied to a pillar or something else. Then the pillar would have exerted the same (and opposite) force which the team X exerted on the pillar.
