SSC GD 2025 PYQ — Question 37

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 10.

• In archery, 10 is the highest score for hitting the inner gold ring with a single arrow.
• In archery, scoring is determined by the part of the target face where the arrow lands. The target consists of concentric colored rings, each assigned a score ranging from 1 to 10 points.
• Gold Rings (Center Zone):
  • Inner gold ring → 10 points (highest score)
  • Outer gold ring → 9 points
• Other Rings:
  • Red → 7 and 8 points
  • Blue → 5 and 6 points
  • Black → 3 and 4 points
  • White → 1 and 2 points
• Hitting the inner gold ring consistently is the key to maximizing scores, as it yields the maximum points. This system is standard across most international formats, including Olympic archery.
• The total or “perfect score” in a round depends on the number of arrows shot. Competitions may vary, with events held in indoor, outdoor, or field archery formats, each involving different target distances and rules.
• Archery, therefore, is a precision-based sport where accuracy, focus, and consistent technique are crucial for success. The scoring system ensures fairness and rewards the most skillful archers.
