Answer:

False statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Force with which a man pulls a box, F = 50 N (one side)

Force with which pushes on the box, F' = 60 N (in opposite direction)

The forces acting on the box are unbalanced. It means that the force acting in one side is more or less then force in other side. As a result the box will move.

So, the given statement is false.
