3) Sub-junior chasers' block distance is same as juniors: 2.30 m.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Answer: Only Statement 1 is correct
1) ✅ Correct — Pole height is 1.20–1.25 m, with a diameter of approximately 9 cm — matches official Kho-Kho Federation specifications.
2) ❌ Incorrect — A match has 4 turns × 9 min = 36 min of actual play. Add a 5-min interval between innings + 2-min breaks between turns → total is not exactly 48 minutes.
3) ❌ Incorrect — The 2.30 m block distance applies to Junior/Senior categories only. Sub-Junior category uses smaller, modified field dimensions, so its block distance is different, not the same.
