SSC Selection Post 2024 PYQ — Question 28

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Badminton.

A shuttlecock is used in the sport of badminton. It is a high-speed racquet sport played either as singles (one player per side) or doubles (two players per side). The shuttlecock, often called a "shuttle" or "birdie," is a cone-shaped object made from feathers or synthetic material with a rounded base. Players hit the shuttlecock over a net using racquets, aiming to land it in the opponent’s court to score points. Unlike balls in most sports, the shuttlecock’s unique shape makes it slow down rapidly and fly in a distinctive, arcing motion, adding to the game's challenge and excitement.
