Final answer:

The sentences in (b) and (c) have errors related to the usage of 'the'.

Step-by-step explanation:

In sentence (b), the word 'the' is used incorrectly. It should be 'and friendship' instead of 'and the friendship'. The presence of 'the' before 'friendship' suggests that there is only one friendship that Indians believe in, which is not accurate. The correct sentence should be: 'Indians believe in love and friendship'.

In sentence (c), the word 'The' is used incorrectly. It should be 'Sameer' without 'The'. 'The' suggests that 'Sameer' is a title or a specific noun, which is not the intended meaning. The correct sentence should be: 'Sameer can ride a bicycle'.

The other sentences are used correctly.
