The cap of pen or a tap can be easily opened with the help of two fingers than with one finger. Why?

Solution
A single force is applied with the help of one finger. And, two forces in the opposite direction is applied with the help of two fingers.
Rotational motion produced by a single force is less than two equal and opposite forces. Therefore, it is easy to open the cap with the help of two fingers rather than one finger.
