Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 30th point.

  • Below is a brief overview of the scoring system of badminton. 
  • A match consists of the best of 3 games of 21 points.
  • Everytime there is a serve- there is a point scored.
  • The side winning a rally adds a point to its score.
  • At 20 all, the side which gains a 2 point lead first, wins the game. 
  • At 29 all, the side scoring the 30th point, wins that game and
  • The side winning a game serves first in the next game.
