Correct option is A
To find the correct associations between the games listed in List I and their respective playing arenas in List II, it's essential to understand the specific terms used for the areas where each sport is traditionally played. Let's break down each game and its associated playing field:
1.
Golf - This is a game played on a large outdoor course, where the objective is to hit the golf ball into a series of holes with the fewest strokes possible. The term for the playing area in golf is a
"Course." Thus, Golf (A) is correctly matched with
"Course" (3).
2.
Cricket - This sport involves two teams, a bat, and a ball, and it is played on an oval field at the center of which is a rectangular area known as the pitch. The pitch is where most of the game's action takes place, including batting and bowling. Therefore, Cricket (B) is associated with
"Pitch" (2).
3.
Polo - Polo is a team sport played on horseback, where the objective is to score goals against an opposing team by driving a small white ball into the opposing team's goal using a long-handled mallet. The term used for the area where polo is played is a
"Ground." Hence, Polo (C) matches with
"Ground" (4).
4.
Tennis - This is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). It is played on a rectangular flat surface, commonly referred to as a
"Court." Thus, Tennis (D) corresponds to
"Court" (1).
Given these associations, the correct matches for each game to their respective arenas are:
· A. Golf -> 3. Course
· B. Cricket -> 2. Pitch
· C. Polo -> 4. Ground
· D. Tennis -> 1. Court
The correct option that matches all these associations is:
·
(a) 3 2 4 1
This choice properly aligns each sport with its traditional playing area, reflecting the standard terminology and settings for these games.
