Q606. Given below are the statements in assertion and reason. Choose the correct options:
Assertion (A): An athlete found with banned substances in their system, even unintentionally, can still face penalties.
Reason (R): Under WADA rules, athletes are strictly liable for any prohibited substance found in their body.

  1. (a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  2. (b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  3. (c) A is true, but R is false
  4. (d) A is false, but R is true
Answer & solution

Answer: (a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Correct Answer: Option 1 – Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
Assertion A is CORRECT: Under anti-doping rules, athletes can be penalized even for unintentional doping. Many cases involve contaminated supplements or prescribed medications containing banned substances.
Reason R is CORRECT and explains A: The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Code applies the principle of 'strict liability' – an athlete is responsible for any prohibited substance found in their body sample, regardless of how it got there or whether there was intent. This principle directly explains why unintentional cases still result in penalties.
Since both A and R are true and R correctly explains A, Option 1 is correct.

Q615. Identify the correct option from given statements:
Assertion (A): India's hosting of the 141st IOC Session in Mumbai was a significant milestone that led to the inclusion of Kabaddi in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
Reason (R): The IOC General Body approved the inclusion of Cricket during the session, and India also expressed its intention to host the Youth Olympics 2030 and Summer Olympics 2036.

  1. (a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. (b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. (c) A is true, but R is false.
  4. (d) A is false, but R is true.
Answer & solution

Answer: (d) A is false, but R is true.

Correct Answer: Option 4 – A is false, but R is true
Assertion (A) is FALSE: The 141st IOC Session was held in Mumbai (October 2023). However, it did NOT lead to the inclusion of Kabaddi in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. What was approved were Cricket/T20, Squash, Lacrosse, Flag Football, and Baseball/Softball for the 2028 LA Olympics — not Kabaddi. The Assertion incorrectly states Kabaddi was included.
Reason (R) is TRUE: The IOC General Body at the 141st IOC Session did approve the inclusion of Cricket (T20 format) among the new sports for LA 2028. India also formally expressed its ambition to host the Youth Olympic Games 2030 and bid for the 2036 Summer Olympics (with Ahmedabad as the proposed host city). The Reason's content is factually accurate.
Since A is false and R is true = Option 4 (D).

Q616. Consider the following statements regarding the standard dimensions of a competitive swimming pool:
1. The minimum lane width in a standard Olympic swimming pool is 3 meters.
2. The water temperature for competitions must remain between 25°C and 28°C.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?

  1. (a) Only 1 is Correct
  2. (b) Only 2 is Correct
  3. (c) 1 and 2 both are correct
  4. (d) Neither 1 nor 2 is Correct
Answer & solution

Answer: (b) Only 2 is Correct

Correct Answer: Option 2 – Only 2 is Correct
Statement 1 (FALSE): In a standard FINA (now World Aquatics) Olympic swimming pool, the minimum lane width is 2.5 meters (not 3 meters). Olympic pools have 10 lanes, each 2.5 m wide, with additional buffer lanes of 0.5 m on each side. The total pool width is 25 m (10 × 2.5 m). So the 3-meter claim is incorrect.
Statement 2 (TRUE): World Aquatics (formerly FINA) regulations specify that the water temperature for competitive swimming must be maintained between 25°C and 28°C. This range ensures comfortable conditions for swimmers and standardised performance.

Statement 2 (TRUE): Neha Ahuja became the first Indian woman to qualify for the Winter Olympics based on merit/qualifying standards in 2006 — a milestone for Indian women's participation in the Winter Games.
Statement 3 (FALSE): India has NOT regularly sent multiple women athletes since 1988. India's Winter Olympic participation has been sporadic and limited. Many editions had no Indian women competitors, and when present, it was typically one or two athletes. India does not have a strong, regular women's Winter Olympic tradition.

  3. (c) 1930
  4. (d) 1947
Answer & solution

Answer: (a) 1927

Option 2 (1920): India participated in the 1920 Antwerp Olympics but the IOA was not yet formed; India was represented informally.
Option 3 (1930): The IOA was already established by 1927; 1930 is incorrect.
Option 4 (1947): India's independence year; the IOA predates independence, having been formed in 1927.

Q619. What is the time limit for a raider in Kabaddi?

  1. (a) 20 sec
  2. (b) 30 sec
  3. (c) 40 sec
  4. (d) 1 min
Answer & solution

Answer: (b) 30 sec

Correct Answer: Option 2 – 30 seconds
In Kabaddi, a raider (the player who crosses into the opponent's half) has 30 seconds to touch as many defenders as possible and return to their own half — all while chanting 'kabaddi, kabaddi' continuously (in traditional rules) without taking a breath. If the raider fails to return within 30 seconds or is tackled by defenders, they are declared out. The 30-second time limit is standard in Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) and international Kabaddi (under Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India rules).
Option 1 (20 sec): Incorrect — the standard raid time is 30 seconds in official Kabaddi rules.
Option 3 (40 sec): Incorrect — 40 seconds exceeds the standard time limit.
Option 4 (1 min): Incorrect — 1 minute would be too long for a single raid in competitive Kabaddi.

  2. (b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. (c) A is true, but R is false.
  4. (d) A is false, but R is true.
Answer & solution

Answer: (b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Correct Answer: Option 2 – Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
Assertion (A) is TRUE: The 37th National Games were held in Goa (October 26 – November 9, 2023), and all 28 States and 8 Union Territories participated — making it one of the most inclusive editions.
Reason (R) is TRUE: The 37th National Games saw participation from over 10,000 athletes, coaches, and officials across 43 sports disciplines.
R does NOT explain A: The fact that over 10,000 participants joined is a consequence of all states/UTs participating — it describes the scale of participation, not the reason why all states/UTs participated. A (all states/UTs participated) is an organisational fact about the event's coverage; R (10,000+ participants) is a quantitative outcome of that broad participation. R does not causally explain why all states/UTs participated — it is a separate factual statement about numbers.

B. Hansoku -make (1 – Major rule breach leading to disqualification): Hansoku -make is a major penalty in Judo for a serious rule infringement — it results in immediate disqualification of the offender and victory for the opponent. Minor infringements result in Shido (warning); three Shidos equal a Hansoku -make.
C. Waza-ari (3 – Partial point for lesser throw or 10-second hold): Waza-ari is a half-point score, below Ippon — awarded for a near-ippon throw (partial execution) or holding for 10–19 seconds. Two Waza-ari equal an Ippon.

Assertion (A) is TRUE: Jeremy Bujakowski was indeed the first Indian athlete to compete at the Winter Olympics. He participated in Alpine skiing at the 1964 Innsbruck Winter Olympics and the 1968 Grenoble Winter Olympics — representing India in alpine skiing events.
Reason (R) is TRUE: After Bujakowski's participation in 1968, India did not send any athletes to the Winter Olympics for approximately 20 years, returning in 1988 (Calgary) with a luge team. This gap of about 20 years is factually correct.
R does NOT explain A: The Reason (India's 20-year absence after Bujakowski) is a fact about what happened AFTER Bujakowski's era — it does not causally explain WHY Bujakowski was the first Indian at the Winter Olympics. A and R are independent facts; R is a consequence/sequel to A's era, not a causal explanation of A.

Q628. "Raid" is a commonly used term in which Indian sport?

  1. (a) Cricket
  2. (b) Football
  3. (c) Kabaddi
  4. (d) Hockey
Answer & solution

Answer: (c) Kabaddi

Correct Answer: Option 3 – Kabaddi
In Kabaddi, a 'Raid' is the core offensive action where a raider (from the attacking team) crosses the midline into the opponents' half, tags as many defenders as possible, and returns to their own half — all in a single breath while chanting 'Kabaddi.' The raider scores points for each defender touched. If the raider is tackled before returning, the defending team scores. The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) has made raid statistics a key metric in the game.
Option 1 (Cricket): Cricket uses terms like 'over,' 'wicket,' 'innings,' 'boundary,' 'run'; 'raid' is not a cricket term.
Option 2 (Football): Football uses 'goal,' 'offside,' 'penalty,' 'corner'; 'raid' is not a standard football term.
Option 4 (Hockey): Hockey uses 'penalty corner,' 'bully,' 'goal,' 'drag flick'; 'raid' is not a hockey term.

Answer & solution

Answer: (a) A-3, B-1, C-4, D-2

Correct Answer: Option 1 – A-3, B-1, C-4, D-2
A. Hajime (3 – Start the bout): 'Hajime' means 'begin' in Japanese; it is the referee's command to start or resume a Judo contest.
B. Mate (1 – Temporarily stop a contest): 'Mate' means 'wait' or 'stop'; the referee calls 'Mate' to temporarily halt the contest (e.g., when players go out of bounds, for injury, or to reset).
C. Toketa (4 – If the pinned opponent successfully breaks the pin): 'Toketa' is called by the referee when the player being held/pinned (osaekomi) successfully escapes or breaks free from the hold-down.
D. Kuzushi (2 – Breaking the balance of the opponent): 'Kuzushi' refers to the technique of breaking the opponent's balance/posture as the first phase of a Judo throw (before the entry/tsukuri and execution/kake).

Q642. Which of the following statements about Kho-Kho rules is correct?

  1. (a) A chaser may change direction only within free zones outside the poles
  2. (b) A runner is not out even if they step outside the playing area while escaping
  3. (c) The chasing team has all nine players sitting in the central lane during attack
  4. (d) Early kho is when the active chaser taps the runner after calling ' kho '
Answer & solution

Answer: (a) A chaser may change direction only within free zones outside the poles

Correct Answer: Option 1 – A chaser may change direction only within free zones outside the poles
In Kho-Kho, chasers are restricted in their movement: they can only change their running direction when they are within the free zones (the areas at both ends of the court, outside the poles). This rule prevents chasers from cutting across and chasing in all directions, ensuring the game follows its tactical structure.
Option 2 (Runner not out if outside area): Incorrect — a runner IS out if they step outside the playing area (boundary) while escaping, unless they are touched to go out.
Option 3 (All nine sitting in central lane): Incorrect — eight chasers sit in the central lane in alternate squares between the poles; one chaser is active and pursues runners. Not all nine sit simultaneously during active play.
Option 4 (Early kho definition): Incorrect — 'Early kho ' is when a chaser gives the kho BEFORE touching the sitting chaser, which is a foul. Tapping after calling ' kho ' is the normal/correct procedure.

2) Tin: 48 cm high strip at front wall, like tennis net.
3) The half-court line and the short line essentially forms a L with the back wall as base.
Which of the statements is/are correct?

  1. (a) Only 1 and 2 are Correct
  2. (b) Only 2 and 3 are Correct
  3. (c) Only 1 and 3 are Correct
  4. (d) 1, 2 and 3 are Correct
Answer & solution

Answer: (a) Only 1 and 2 are Correct

Correct Answer: Option 1 – Only 1 and 2 are Correct
Statement 1 is CORRECT: In squash, the short line is located at 4.26 m from the back wall in singles (5.49 m from the front wall), and 4.57 m from the back wall in doubles courts.
Statement 2 is CORRECT: The tin is a 48 cm (19 inch) high metal strip at the base of the front wall. Like the net in tennis, any ball striking the tin is considered out of play.
Statement 3 is INCORRECT: The half-court line and the short line form a T-shape (like the letter T), not an L. The short line runs across the full width of the court, and the half-court line bisects it perpendicularly from the front wall to the short line, creating a T at their intersection.
Since statements 1 and 2 are correct but 3 is not, Option 1 (A) is the answer.
