SSC CGL 2025 PYQ — Question 40

SSC CGL - 22 Sep 2025 - Shift 2 • General Awareness • Q40

Which of the following is considered a fault in badminton?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Server steps on boundary line while serving. 

In badminton, a fault results in the loss of a point or the service. Stepping on any boundary line during the service is a violation, as both the server and receiver must remain within their respective service courts without touching the lines until the shuttle is struck.

Other common faults include:

  • Striking the shuttle above the waist during a serve.

  • The shuttle getting caught in the net or hitting the ceiling.

  • A player's body or racket touching the net while the shuttle is in play.
