Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A, C, B, D
• B. D, C, A, B
• C. B, A, D, C
• D. C, D, B, A

Hint:

Change the dumbbell weights from pounds to kg before comparing with the 2 kg and 3 kg medicine balls.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
We must list the four items from lightest to heaviest. So we need the standard weight of each item in the fitness test battery.

Step 2: Medicine balls:
In the Backward Medicine Ball Throw, the ball weighs 2 kg for girls and 3 kg for boys.

Step 3: Dumbbells:
In the Arm Curl Test (senior citizen fitness test), the dumbbell weighs 5 pounds (about 2.27 kg) for women and 8 pounds (about 3.63 kg) for men.

Step 4: Arrange in order:
In kg: C (girls ball) = 2, D (women dumbbell) = 2.27, B (boys ball) = 3, A (men dumbbell) = 3.63. Order from minimum to maximum: C, D, B, A.

Step 5: Check the options:
Option (1) starts with A, the heaviest, so it is wrong. Option (2) puts C second and A third, wrong. Option (3) starts with B, wrong. Option (4) is C, D, B, A, which matches.

Final Answer:
The order from lightest to heaviest is C, D, B, A. This is option (4). \[ \boxed{\text{C, D, B, A}} \]
