SSC CGL 2025 PYQ — Question 36

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Blocks 16–19 inches from line, rear toe and front heel aligned.

The "bunch start" (also known as the bullet start) is a crouch starting technique where the feet are positioned closest together. In this setup, the front block is typically placed about 16 to 19 inches (approximately two foot-lengths) from the starting line. A defining characteristic is that the toes of the rear foot are aligned with the heel of the front foot. This compact position allows for a very rapid and explosive clearance from the blocks, favored by sprinters with high leg frequency.
