Explanation:

• One of two field events also referred to as vertical jumps, competitors in the high jump take off (unaided) from one foot over a four-metre long horizontal bar.
• They seek to clear the greatest height without knocking the bar to the ground.
• Athletes land on a crash mat.
• All competitors have three attempts per height, although they can elect to ‘pass’, i.e. advance to a greater height despite not having cleared the current one.
• Three consecutive failures at the same height, or combination of heights, leads to elimination.
• If competitors are tied on the same height, the winner is the one with fewest failures at that height.
• If competitors are still tied, the winner will have had the fewest failures across the entire competition.
• Thereafter, a jump-off will decide the winner.
• The jump-off will start at the next greater height.
• Each jumper has one attempt and the bar is lowered and raised until one jumper succeeds at one height.
• The high jump has an Approach that contains a transition from linear to a curve.
• It has a Takeoff that is similar to the long jump, employing a penultimate and takeoff step.
• Lastly, it has Bar Clearance and Landing in the pit.
• The event demands speed, explosive power and agility among other qualities.
• At major championships the format is usually a qualification competition followed by a final.

Thus, In the high jump three consecutive failures at the same height or combination of heights, cause a competitor’s elimination.

Additional Information

• High jump contests were popular in Scotland in the early 19th century, and the event was incorporated into the first modern Olympics Games in 1896 for men. Women made their Olympic high jump debut in 1928.
• Of the field events, the high jump has perhaps undergone the most radical changes of technique.
• The Eastern Cut-off, Western Roll and Straddle are methods that have been previously used by the world’s elite.
• However, the Fosbury Flop, which involves going over with the jumper's back to the bar, popularised by the 1968 Olympic champion Dick Fosbury, is now almost exclusively the technique adopted by all the top high jumpers.

Athletics:

• It is one of the most lengthy sports events consisting of a variety of events.
• It consists of four categories:

1. Track and Field events
2. Road running.
3. Cross country.
4. Race walking.

• It includes measurements for every event with different areas and dimensions.

Explanation:

Measurement :

• A standard track is 400m.
• It consists of  8 lanes maximum with a width of 1.22 meters each.
• A track consists of 2 semicircles of 36.50 meters each and 2 straights of 84.39 meters each.
• The width of the lines of the track event is 5 cm.

Thus, the width of the lines in athletics track events is 5 cm.

Concept:

• Penalty throw:
  • ​t is basically a bonus throw given to the opponent team for fouls done by the other team.
  • It is given when a team makes fouls in a certain area.

Explanation:

Penalty throw used in games:

• Basketball: In basketball for a technical foul, free throws are given, depending on the foul area and basket count.
• Handball: In handball penalty throw is given for any shooting action fouls or fouls observed by officials that are unsportsmanlike.
• Volleyball: There is no penalty throw, for foul points are awarded to the opponent team.
• Waterpolo: A penalty foul is awarded when a player commits any kind of a foul in the penalty area (inside the 5m line) that, in the opinion of the referee, prevented a probable goal.
• Football: In football, a penalty kick is awarded whenever offenses is committed by a player within that player's own penalty area while the ball is in play (the ball must be in play at the time of the offense, but it does not need to be within the penalty-area at that time).

Thus, the term 'penalty throw' is related to handball and water polo.

Concept:

Cricket :

• Cricket is a team game.
• It is played between two teams.
• It is governed by umpires and officials.
• It consists of a batting and a bowling team.
• A typical Cricket game has 11 players on each team.
• The center of the field is a rectangular area of 22 meters called a pitch.

Explanation:

Boundary rule:

• According to ICC.
• With respect to the size of the boundaries, no boundary shall be longer than 90 yards (82.29 meters), and no boundary should be shorter than 65 yards (59.43 meters) from the center of the pitch to be used.
• The length of the Cricket Pitch is 22 yards (20.12 meters or 66 feet).
• This is the distance from the wicket to the wicket on either end of the Pitch.
• The width of a Cricket Pitch is 10 feet (3.05 meters).
• The equivalent ICC playing conditions for international women's cricket require the boundary to be between 60 yards (54.86 m) and 70 yards (64.01 m) from the center of the pitch to be used.
• The popping crease has the back edge of the crease marking 1.22m (4 feet) from the center of the stumps and shall extend to a minimum of 1.83m (6 feet) on either side of the line of the wicket.

​Thus, option 2(b, d, e) will be the correct answer.
Additional Information:

Cricket umpires:

There are a total of two officials, namely:-

• Main umpire(stands at the bowler's end behind the stumps).
• Square leg umpire(adjacent to the batsman)

• There is also an umpire(camera umpire)
• He makes decisions when asked by the other two umpires during any confusion in decision-making.

The correct answer is Only I.

Key Points

• As per the IOC, National Olympic Committees that wish to host an Olympic Games select cities within their countries to put forth bids for the Olympic Games. 
• The host city is usually chosen seven years before the Games take place.

Additional Information

• The cities whose proposals go into consideration undergo a ten-month examination.
• It is to ensure that they have the necessary infrastructure to host an international athletic event.
• The ability of a city to accommodate a large number of people, including athletes, is one of the factors that the IOC looks at.

Concept:

• Gymnastics is a sport that includes physical exercises requiring balance, strength, flexibility, agility, coordination, dedication, and endurance.
• The movements involved in gymnastics contribute to the development of the arms, legs, shoulders, back, chest, and abdominal muscle groups.

Explanation:

Equipment used by women in gymnastics:

Parallel bars:

• Parallel bars, gymnastics apparatus invented in the early 19th century by the German Friedrich Jahn, is usually considered the father of gymnastics.
• It is especially useful in improving upper-body strength.
• The two bars, made of wood, are oval in cross-section, 5 cm (2 inches) thick, 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) long, 2 meters (6.5 feet) high, and 42 cm (16.5 inches) apart.
• The height and width of the bars are usually adjustable.

Thus, in gymnastics, the length of parallel bars is 350 cm(3.5 meters).

Additional Information: Equipment used in gymnastics:

• Men's gymnastics events include:

1. The parallels bars,
2. High bar,
3. Still rings,
4. Floor exercise,
5. Vault, and
6. Pommel horse.

• Women's Gymnastics comprises the performances on four apparatuses: 

1. Vault,
2. Uneven Bars,
3. Balance Beam and
4. Floor Exercise.

Explanation:

Mallakamb:

• A Traditional Indian sport, Mallakamb involves a gymnast performing feats with a vertical wooden pole or rope. The word, Mallakamb, also refers to the pole used in the sport.
• The word ‘Mallakhamb’ comes from coalescing two words- ‘malla’ meaning wrestler and ‘ khamb’ meaning pole.
• The gymnast performs aerial yoga postures on a wooden pole, a cane, or simply a rope.
• Traditionally, a wooden pole is used to perform yoga postures, which is made of Sheesham or Indian Rosewood and smoothened by castor oil. 
• Over the years, three types of mallakhamb variations have gained popularity in competitions.
• They are pole mallakhamb, hanging mallakhamb and rope mallakhamb.
• Pole mallakhamb is essentially the traditional form of mallakhamb. Competitors perform on a wooden pole which is 2.6m in height and has a circumference of 55cm at the base.
• The pole gradually tapers to a circumference of 35cm at the top.
• Hanging mallakhamb, meanwhile, uses a shorter pole suspended with hooks or chains as the prop. The bottom of the pole in hanging mallakhamb doesn’t touch the ground.
• Rope mallakhamb is performed on a suspended rope which is 5.5m long and 2cm in diameter.​

Thus, Pole mallakhamb and Rope mallakhamb are the types of mallakhamb.

Additional Information

• Yubi Lakpi- It is a type of contact sport played with a coconut. The sport originated in Manipur in India and is currently the only place where it is played.
• Nadan Panthu Kali- It is is a popular sport played in villages of Kottayam district. This game is played using a small ball made of leather and filled with cotton or coconut fibre.
• Kalaripayattu- It is considered among the oldest and most scientific martial arts in the world, Kalaripayattu was developed in Kerala. It is an Indian martial art.

Explanation:

• Handball is played between two teams of seven players each (six outcount players and a goalkeeper).
• It is played by passing a ball using their hands with the aim of throwing it into the goal of the other team.
• The objective of the game is to throw the ball into the opponent's goal.
• Defenders may use their body to make contact with attackers to prevent them from having a clear shot at goal.
• Attackers attempt to break through the defence or shoot over the top of them to score a goal.
• Two teams compete with 6 court players and 1 goalkeeper playing per team.
• Substitutions can be made at any time.
• Each goal counts as 1 point and games regularly finish with teams having scored over 20 points.
• The game is played on a 40m long and 20m wide court with 2m high and 3m wide nets at either end.
• The game consists of two 30 minute time periods with a 10/15 minute rest in between.
• All players alternate between an attacking position and a defending position, depending on who has possession of the ball.
• The ball is usually moved around the court by passing and dribbling however, as in basketball, one cannot double-dribble.
• Players can hold the ball for a maximum of three seconds before having to pass or dribble. Players can take up to three steps while holding the ball.

Thus, a standard handball match consists of two periods of 30 minutes and the team that scores more goals wins.

Additional Information

• This sport is usually played indoors, but outdoor variants exist in the form of field handball and beach handball.
• The game is fast and high-scoring, professional teams now typically score between 20 to 35 goals each, though lower scores were not common until a few decades ago.
• Body contact is permitted.
• No protective equipment is mandated but players may wear soft bands, pads, and mouth guards.

Concept:

Coefficeint of friction:

• Both footwear and walking surfaces offer frictional resistance.
• The coefficient of friction (COF) is a number that represents the relationship between these two surfaces — the force applied between the two surfaces vertically (pressing force) and laterally (frictional force).

Explanation:

• The goal is to have the right amount of friction between the shoe and the walking surface.
• On icy, wet, and oily surfaces, the coefficient of friction can be as low as 0.1µ with shoes that don’t have slip-resistant soles.
• Rubber-soled shoes on a brushed concrete surface can generate a coefficient of friction of over 1.0µ.
• In general, a coefficient of friction of 0.4µ to 0.5µ is considered a good traction offering.
• In activities, such as dancing or bowling, we demand a relatively low kinetic friction coefficient of shoe soles so that we can make use of sliding across the surface.
• In most sports shoes, we demand high friction forces, so the soles have a high kinetic friction coefficient. For example, footballers have screw-in studs on the soles of football boots to increase the friction force. 
• Dancing and bowling shoes have a smaller coefficient of friction because of having a similar sole design primarily used for sliding.

Thus, the Dancing and bowling soles of the shoes have smaller coefficients of friction. 

Additional Information: Cricket on the other hand will have a higher coefficient of friction due to its sole design.
