Passage:
The Olympic Games is an international multisport event subdivided into summer and winter sporting events. The Summer and Winter Games are each held every four years. Until 1992, they were both held in the same year. Since then, they have been separated by two years. The original Olympic Games began in 776 B.C. in Olympia, Greece, and were celebrated until A.D. 393. Evangelos Zappas sponsored the first modern international Olympic in 1859. The International Olympic Committee was founded in 1894 on the initiative of a French nobleman, Pierre Fredy Baron de Coubertin. The first IOC’s Olympic Games were the 1896 Summer Olympics, held in Athens, Greece.
Participation in the Olympic Games has increased to include athletes from nearly all nations worldwide. With the improvement of satellite communications and global telecasts of the events, the Olympics are now consistently gaining supporters.
Ques. The summer and winter sporting events of Olympics occur with a gap of ______ years.

Correct option is B

According to the passage, until 1992, both Summer and Winter Olympic Games were held in the same year. However, since then, they have been separated by two years. This change was made by the International Olympic Committee to give each event more focus and coverage. Therefore, the correct gap between Summer and Winter Olympics, post-1992, is two years.
Explanation of options: (a) three – This is incorrect. There is no Olympic scheduling format that uses a three-year cycle. It does not match the historical or current pattern described in the passage.
(b) two – This is the correct answer. The passage clearly mentions that since 1992, Summer and Winter Olympics are conducted two years apart. For example, if the Summer Olympics are in 2024, the Winter Olympics would be in 2026.
(c) five – This option is incorrect. A five-year gap is not standard for Olympic events, though a one-time five-year delay occurred due to the pandemic in 2020. It is not the official interval mentioned in the passage.
(d) four – This refers to the frequency of each type of Olympic event individually (Summer-to-Summer or Winter-to-Winter), but the question specifically asks about the gap between Summer and Winter, which is two years.
