SSC CGL - 20 Sep 2025 - Shift 1 • General Awareness • Q31

Which of the following statements about basketball equipment specifications is accurate?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The lines on the backboard must be white and 50 mm wide.

For official basketball, the backboard measures 1.80 m in width and 1.05 m in height, and it usually includes a 50 mm wide white border.

The inner diameter of the ring is about 457 mm rather than exactly 450 mm, and the net is typically white with 12 loops for attachment, not black with 10 loops.
