SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 50

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Hockey.

Term ‘Back-stick’ is a type of foul used in Hockey.

The back stick is a foul shot in which a player hits the ball with the round face of the stick in field hockey. Players cannot legally use both sides of the stick hockey while playing to hit the ball. Players can only hit the ball with the flat side of the stick.

• The five main types of fouls in field hockey are obstruction, back sticks, rough and dangerous play, touching the ball with your body, and undercutting. Each foul will result in a penalty as decided by the umpire. Rough and dangerous play is the one foul that may result in an immediate red card penalty and the possible ejection from the game.
• Hockey players need to pass or dribble the ball only with their stick and move it towards the opposite goal. And to score a goal, a shot can only be taken from inside the striking circle.
