What is the standard width of a singles badminton court as per international regulations?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 5.18 meters.
As per the Badminton World Federation (BWF) regulations, the width of the court for singles play is 5.18 meters (17 feet). This is narrower than the doubles court, which measures 6.10 meters. The singles court is bounded by the inner side-lines. However, the total length of the court remains the same for both singles and doubles at 13.40 meters (44 feet). This distinction ensures a more focused and physically demanding coverage area for a single player.
